Edgar Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Edgar

Do you know?

I thought I knew you
-no, did not
-do I now?
-I sure doubt

Read your works
-some of your stories
-dark, noir
-femme fatal
-and much more

I saw you
-with blinds on my eyes
-screens and meshes of others
-and poem named 'Raven'

Raven is narrative
-poem by Allan Poe.
-was published…
-supernatural atmosphere
-stylised language

Now know you by the Rue
-with the Morgue
-and the time,
-and place

What a change!
-so very different

Though away
-by furnace
-observing wood burning
-see papers of secrets
-the act of 'Idiot'
-imagine soot moulding
-in path of the Santa
-yes; chimney
-empty stalking; cry kids…
