أنا حَبّةُ القمحِ التي ماتت لكي تُخضِرَ ثانيةً، وفي موتي حياةٌ ما.

إن كان هذا اﻟﺤﻠﻢْ ﻻ ﻳﻜﻔﻲ ﻓﻠﻲ ﺳﻬﺮ ﺑﻄﻮﻟﻲٌ ﻋﻠﻲ ﺑﻮاﺑﺔ اﻟمنفى

I walk, scramble, run, climb, get down, scream, bark, howl, call out, wail,
speed up, slow down, love, become lighter, drier, march on, fly, see, don’t see, stumble, become yellow, green, blue, gasp, sob,
, fall, get up, run, forget, see, don’t see, remember, hear,look, wonder, hallucinate, mumble, yell I can’t, moan, go mad, stay,
become less and more, fall, rise, collapse, bleed and faint

Beautiful… I’m just thinking if I could read it in Arabic it would have fully crushed me ❤️‍🩹

“And what on earth are dreams if not our only way of speaking?”

I have work to do on the geography of volcanoes
From desolation to ruin
from the time of Lot to Hiroshima
As if I’d never yet lived with a lust
I’ve still to know
Perhaps Now has gone further away
and yesterday come closer
So I take
Now’s hand to walk along
the hem of history
and avoid cyclic time
with its chaos of mountain goats

Be worthy of the bread's aroma
