Fariha is on page 7 of 96
My eye frees what the page imprisons:
the white the white and the black the black.

Fariha
Fariha is on page 23 of 96
I say to the cupbearer:

Give me your best,
change my silver
for the gold of wine.
In it I'll drown my sorrows.

On the surface foamy bubbles
form a pattern of white fingers
like those of an inveterate drinker
always holding a bottle in his hand.

Look at the ripe wheat
bending before the wind


like the squadrons of horsemen
fleeing in defeat, bleeding
from the wounds of the poppies.
