I Saw Azerbaijan Poem

By Bijay Kant Dubey

I saw Azerbaijan
Through
The eyes
Of the Azeri women
Waking
Down
The streets
Of Baku,
Post-Soviet era

The modern Azeri women
Looking Western,
Sometimes
Traditional
The Azeri women
Walking
Down
The streets
Of post-Soviet Baku

A journey from
Iranian,
Turkic
To Caucasian
To Russian
To Western
To globalized consumer culture
