Nastya Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Nastya

I found you in an album
-of pornography

Yes let me confess
-I do watch porno
-lying to myself
-for technique
-of lighting
-camera

And they are true
-but not full and
-everything

Then
-looking at you
-I saw your eyes
-I read every word
-the said and unsaid
-you seek help, appeal

I felt pity
-for you
-for me and
-for those slaved
-to what is laid there
-right between our legs

I thought
-I think
-and I shall
-permanently
-always, forever

With questions:
-what percent of us
-lie there? What about
-the rest or the majority?
