Searching For Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Searching for

Have plan for trip
-to go, see
-North and West Territories.

There, I search for Guaman
-not Andes's; Saskatchewan's
-and the North America's.

I am sure he exists
-but hidden and buried;
-as was the Poma of
-The Southern America.

Centuries passed and books
-wrote: "Heroes and Devils, "
-pointing at "Churches"
-and those in the "Apus."

Suddenly book surfaced
-revealed the true face
-of the Kings', Viceroys'
-murdering, genocides.

Will start my findings
-as simple archaeologist;
-digging deep, questioning.

Our Guaman Poma lives
-somewhere in Prairies
-or cities or schools
-built to kill for masking
-First Nations with the shame
-of being Savages, Squaws…

I will use my skin
-slowly, with patience
-to drill and dig deep
-till I find in hiding
-treasures, secretly-
-sealed in walls
-or ceilings…
