Nassy Fesharaki Poems

Lionesses

Read the Koran, Bible,
Both New, and Ancient,
...

And I mourn

Prepared birdhouses,
Nailed them to branches
...

Sun had fallen. Plain was covered by the shadow of the heights. Broken stones laid on the rock and cliff-sides and she, all by herself, was caught, mesmerized by fear.
She took refuge between the pieces of stones at the skirt of a huge rock. That would be safe, safe, even from the howling hungry wolves that could be heard so early.
...

Man and dog

I listen and hear
Read over and over:
...

Guns

Some carry guns in hand
-for a cause that they have
...

Ad idem?

Once dad and others had
-beasts for loads and the rides
...

An invitation to death

For success, ambition, hope and lust
You and I rush the time
...

City penguins

At Bathurst and Sheppard
One can see penguins
...

Eyelash

She sits on my left side
in her car
...

I saw him.

He was bird in a cage
had no wing, no feather
...
