Cat And Mouse Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Cat And Mouse



Cat and mouse

Up above is sky
-we are told and is lie
-spheres, spheres, spheres
-of air and emptiness
-make blue to our eyes
-we name them the skies

We are so stupid
-we make and tell the lies
-then paint them on canvas
-in our minds give life
-and name them as for child
-then accept that they are

Somehow one or few
-took a nasty figure
-of the most favourites
-not zero, neither four
-as we see in Bible
-chose seven…
-for week days,
-for levels of the Earth
-lives of cats and the dogs
-and number of skies

All are shit…

Anyway someone asked:
-of my faith, religion
-my flag and nation
-my feelings and senses
-my love, lust,
-and my taste
-also likes and dislikes

I answered:
-not one, all!

Then mentioned a poem
-it is called
-cat and mouse
-is written in Farsi
-poet is Zakiani
-of Iran but blood
-comes from Syria
-immigrant, settler
-very first or the tenth
-in the fold and layers?
-paternal?
-maternal?
-don't even think to care

What I want is content!
-he amused, clear
-cheats, corrupts the power…
-falls for lies powerless
-latter is sacrificed…
