First Quest - Leila Sadeghi

 

 

This collection of fiction-poetry, titled Eccentricity or Escaping from the center, contains thirty poems titled "Thirty Kites," where each line of each poem corresponds to a specified number of kites, forming a coherent alignment with visual symbols. The more kites added in terms of height, the more lines of the poem increase. Additionally, seven stories, like seven Quest, are present in the midst of the movement of the kites, having an internal thematic connection with the poems. The First Quest is as following:

First Quest

The runnel is filled with soda cans and colorful remnants that might have been biscuits one day, or perhaps fried chicken with red sauce and the leftovers around it.

- Ready.

As usual, a pack of kites was in front of his feet, and some people were buying while others were laughing.

- Excuse me, teacher, why do some people sell kites?

Two or three kids come and pick up some kites to make the alley laugh and then head towards a boy. The girl with her dirty hands rushes to the boys to collect her money.

- Excuse me, teacher, one of the kids is absent.

The boys return, and the pack of kites is opened from their sling

                         To                     towards

This                                   

and

                     That                                           towards      in the air

                                      goes

- Excuse me, teacher, can I say what the most important part of the body is?

A street passes, passing under the wheels of the bus, pulling away from the girl the empty pack of kites from...

Excuse me, ma'am, can I say? If there was no heart, we wouldn't be alive.

And the girl's brother sits next to the water jug, thinking to himself how much he wishes to kill all these people.
