Keith Garebian: FIBONACCI POEMS



1. MAT 2. DHIMMI

To I’ll
be tell
a hai you why
is to be some dhimmi
a mat for the Turk speak only Turkish
on which to wipe his dirty feet they risk having their tongues cut out

3. SULTAN 4. RITUAL

A Let
man us
who sits torture
on his throne rape and kill
drinking, eating, and then pray to Allah
murdering with bejeweled hands the All-merciful for reward

5. BOY COLLECTION 6. HAMID’S DINNER

Did Was
they his
desire squash stuffed
boys for work with fresh
or sexual pleasure— young Armenian flesh
Hamid’s Ottoman officers? served on a warm silver platter?


7. CIVILIZATION 8. TURKISH NERO

Is The
it mad
Europe Sultan
cleaning knives makes music
with elegant cloth while Armenians burn
for the mad Sultan and his killers? in a wholesale ethnic cleansing
