“شربت من حكايتك البحر كله !!
حتى شرقت بملح أمواجه !
ضربت رأسي بجدار ظروفك حتى أفقدته ذاكرته!
مددت لك يدي كأنك أخر أطواق النجاة لي !!
جاهدت في الوصول إليك كانك قشة الغريق الوحيدة!
ركضت خلفك بقلب لاهث وكانك سفينة نوح التي خلفتني !
حتى إنقطعت انفاسي
و......تعبت !!
تعبت منك....تعبت مني !
تعبت من صمت التمثال بك !
تعبت من بكاء الأنثى بي !”
