Muslim Girl Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Muslim girl

Psst!
Psst!
Psst!
Hey Muslim girl
-the Bohra in the mosque
Look…
Look at me, this way
With those killer black eyes
Look at me…through the wall

You are cute
Covered from sun
-even moon and sky
Your skin
-your face
-your eyebrows
-still virgin
-unlike the modern girls
-plucking when teen
-if not before
-ugly regrown

Psst!
Psst!
Psst!
Hey Muslim girl
-the Bohra in the mosque
-look at me and steal my heart

I worked here
I insulated it against
-heat, cold and sound

But saved this hole for me
-to return
-to see you
-partially dressed
-open to your good God

Let me see you equal to him
-just watching you and admiring!
