Piwakawaka Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Piwakawaka

Jealously; and with love
commented and bailed out
then lingered in limbo
walked away; re-entered.

"Do in know? "
"Have I read? "
"Did I get? "
Pīwakawaka
Tīwakawaka

Went on line, a research
Piwakawaka is a bird
a fan-bird; New Zealand's.

I shouted:
"Margrit, Margrit, Margrit"

This poet on this day has ruined dream day
I am drunk with her work and her bird
and of course the message.

Truly brought death
I am dead.

Honestly too frail
very young, presaged disaster.
