Beauty

O nameless town

Lost in my

Entrails

White glow adorns

The sunset

Two loves have struck this heart:

Palestine

And

Nowhere

And I say

To the exile

Both are

Everywhere

And I say

To the nomad

Both are home

Madness

I relate

Was the most beautiful rose

Of this garden

As we sip coffee

Under this ardent sun

The sluggishly expected

Shot

No more obscure

Than these words

No more

Than a whisper

Parts the waves

And I say:

Not even a bird

Can throw its load

Into the sea

But he carries

His birdhood

Like the burden of breath

Like a living, lithe banner with him

Through the skies

And traversing the heavens

He loves

Every stone of my ground

Flung into gravity

Hear me tonight

Kiss me tonight

Which is a night

Like all others

And be silent

As you are silent

Every night

Like in those days

That once were

In a far past which God recalls

When my mind

Like purple fire

Seemed to tower over

The mountains

Two pairs of eyes

Dismembered

Shall be

Your legacy
