Genom hela litteraturhistorien, överallt i världen, har kyssarna alltid skildrats på samma sätt: utifrån, från människornas perspektiv. I den här dikten vänder jag på det hela. Det här är kyssarna sedda från insidan. <

Att läsa Barakat är som att resa till en magisk parallell värld - där allt och inget hänger samman.


’Skelett av vind i mina nattliga ben,
som jag skall gå till berget med,
gå uppför alla stigar i mina bästa skor,
från alla håll.
Utan att tala med mig själv,
som jag brukar,
om rökens grova näve som kramar ur
arvet
när de skakar hand’
