Interrogation In Evin Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Interrogation in Evin

The heroes are made of
-needs and time.

They can be produced
-introduced
-and even falsified
-codified.

Review the movies
-of El Cid
-Sundance, Butch-Cassidy
-study each of them
- "Who was he? "
- "What he did? "
- (a servant turned master,
-like Mirvais in time of Safavids)
- (and bandits who robbed banks,
-what could see…)

Then after, come to time and place
-peoples' needs, business,
-to enrich or fulfil, and exchange.

In handcuffs, bag on head
-I had to squat against wall
-great chance to listen
-to questions and answers.

Interrogation of rebel…

She answered the questions
-in Evin Prison.

Was able, confident and smart
-questioner not too dumb
-must have had training
-to be and become one!

He, young man, as voice said
-rode his bike, veers around
-on papers
-Steve McQueen's "Great Escape".
-raised questions…

Authorised was the man
-he mentioned the names and addresses
-in questions that he made and offered.

Most of them were new and unknown
-to me who was absent from scene
-for long time, off stage.

I followed what I heard
-flavoured from guess.

"Why did you go to where…? "
-he questioned with a name.

"I followed my husband…"
-she replied, clever, good actor.

Beaten and wounded by the soldier
-blood sat around eye, on my face
-my muscles and bones hurt…

But her words were drug
-removed pain, hallucinate.

I was lost in echoes of the sounds
-Q came and the A was prompt…
-ready, sharp, and on dot.

"You know well, you are an
-activist and rebel against us."

He finished his threat, then slow
-in a way that praised rebel girl:
- "...but his death is grip for you to
-stick to, save yourself, put blame on a dead! "

And reply:
- "I'm a Muslim woman;
-I follow our Great Prophet.
-who told us to pray to husband
-after God, …"

I forgot all my pains
-felt drunk and laughed loud.
-interrogator heard my sound;
-harshly warned…
