Wish I Too Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Wish I too

Am reading
-on, about,
-not from
-the famous
-known; Borges.

Wish like him
-and Munro,
-and Mahfouz
- (of Egypt)
-could write of
-where I live.

With much care
-as if am part of it.

But am not!
No, am not!
Not, not, not!

Here, I
-I feel in prison
-behind bars
-but free; left alone.

Seems to be!
Seems to be!
Seems to be!

Land
Ground
And the air

Can be soul,
-soil, water.

I feel not
-I have
-not!

Not!
Not!
Not!
