Hadi Ebrahimi Poem
The land I was born in
has been stolen
Has anybody seen it?
The immigration officer asks:
“Nationality and reason for asylum?”
I tell him I am looking for the thief of my land
Do you think he might be kind and return my stolen land to me?
With a Texan accent he says:
“Write a letter to John Ashcroft
And make a copy to George W. Bush.”
I drafted an ad today
And sent it to the media:
“In this Global Village
I am lost
Anybody
Seen
Me?”

Hadi Ebrahimi Poem
In the Surrey General Hospital
A new born baby
Screams out her geography
In the Nursery
Is a woman whose village she cannot find
Searching,
Sees the moon sliced by the window blinds

Hadi Ebrahimi Poem
For the last couple of days
Pope John Paul the Second
Has laid down
Across the covers of the newspapers
And his body comes away on the hands of public opinion
Death wonders
About Arafat’s passing away
And Sharon
At history
Throws stones

Hadi Ebrahimi Poem
On the exit number 44 sign
On Highway number one
A crow sits perplexed
Trying to spell the word “FLY”
She stutters a moment

Hadi Ebrahimi Poem
The tree did not ask
“Where are you from?”
And in my fatigue
I stretched out in its shade
