Let's Try Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

I take out one drop
Face to face, we sit talk
“Who am I? ”
I ask my blood and it talks.

“...of this king, that queen, and slave in between...”
It goes on.

I’m ear
I listen
I climb with royals
Sudden fall with slaves
Then I ask: “What the hell? ”

And I mean: “You’re racist”
I de-climb

“Let us be human.
Let’s ignore race, color and gender.”

I try
Being black, almond eye, white as pearl and blond
But in fact it is hard
We are soaked in blood
In cultures, inheritance
Never say impossible.
