It Depends Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

It depends

It depends who is there
Is that he, is it her?
Where and when?
Like Badu in desert or Oru on water?

It depends; what share
It is love, it is hate?
Is it house, mosque or Deir?
Like tribe, Christians or Muslims?

It depends on our tongues
Words of war, dominant
Words of poor and oppressed
Like percent; ninety nine or the one

It depends; relation, reaction
When you talk; I listen
If I talk; you descend
Like snow or a roof, avalanche or quake
