“You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread, Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.”
― Love After Love

“I go out
to the pale dunes, to look over
the empty spaces
of the wilderness.
For something is there,
something is there when nothing is there but itself,
that is not there when anything else is.”

“تقول: لماذا نحبّ، فنمشي على طُرُقٍ خاليةْ؟
أقول: لنقهر الموت كثيرا بموت أَقلّ
وننجو من الهاويةْ
تقول: لماذا حلمتُ بأني رأيت سُنوُنُوَّة ًفي يدي؟
أقول: لأنك في حاجةٍ لأَحدْ
تقول: لماذا تذكِّرني بغد لا أراه
معك؟
أقول: لأنك إحدى صفات الأبدْ
تقول: ستمضي إلى نَفَقِ الليل وحدك
بعدي
أقول: سأمضي إلى نفق الليل بعدك
.وحدي”
