Fake News Of Kabul Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Fake news of Kabul

Crystal replaces clay vase
-in it kept thousands of treasures
-among them history and cultures
-many faiths and weddings
-the kings' rings exchanging
-comes news finally
-of killing

'We had it and have seen and know it…'
-says the land underneath…
-all the dirt;
-particles of the dust
-it rises beneath feet
-when walking…

And the jar at the edge
-diagonal; on a wedge,
-is dancing, is ticking
-pendulum in clock is shaking
-singing song:
-'The sky is falling…'

Come the bombs
-from air; shed blood

Round fire of the bush
-the ignored, abandoned
- (after dancing Atan…)
-'Go get them…'
-in Pushto…

This is not their first and
-not the last

Toys and balls
-they have been

'One more time…'
'One more time…'
'One more time…'
ISIS or Taliban…
