Mehrdad Arefani

Temptation

Je t’aime	because I love summer
Je t’aime licking ice cream
your beauty has killed me
Revolution corner of Workers
Monday streets rode a taxi
I’m more comfortable in plimsolls
I’ll come to the same bloody square
to have lunch in your greasiest spoon cafe
with you hey bus how pretty you look
sooty breasts of Cannon Ball Square
don’t tempt me to march again

with your thighs in Revolution Avenue

Boom Screech Vroom bang bang
Bosnian kiss
No
Tajrish
come
let’s run on the rails before the police come
like a horse
screeching past
Freedom anyone?
Je t’aime like chocolate chips
I love my country like a Kit Kat
