Flattened Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Flattened

On the road laid flat
-was crushed and crashed
-flattened and levelled
-very thin on asphalt
-bone to meat and feathers
-washed by rain
-the trace of blood

Area occupied was small
-doubtlessly
-could not be a seagull
-then what was?
-a pigeon or a dove?
-or a jay, or robin?
-had nothing of blue
-neither was gilded, gold
-could it be a sort of the migrants?
-different in its shape and culture?
-or was it light-brown squirrel?
-a baby or mother?
-did she have hairless back?
-babies like mom's skin!
-in the hens is best seen
-when they bare the chest to
-keep and warm up the eggs
-and brood of chicken!

Questions march with smile
-crazy, laugh out-loud:
-'This is how poets are! '
-I say and I recall
-the Bio of writers
-literature kills makers and readers…
-see Plath and Woolf and Hemingway!
-see Frost and Milton, Ezra Pound!
-ignore the language
-and who, how,
-same are most orators
-anyone, anywhere, narrators!

Can I be one of them?
