Feast

A Poem by Maryam Mottahedeh

Feast

My grin awoke this morning

Tossing my straight arrow

Right to the back seat of intentions

 

As a lizard to the sun

Cravings pant to bask in your passions heat

In this I burnt many a times

 

In this pulse, taste buds crave

Selective rose colored memories

Against the bottomless floor

And the sinking of your growling beast

Into my bellies secret

Where a thousand stars and oceans meet

 

Against your body’s hard wall

Penetrating into mine

Until my eyes burst out my soul

Into your mouth

Where we can eat each other’s delight

 

In this feast, let’s remember

Thank you and please

So that we may not

Become cannibalists and forget who we are
