A Request

Over here
The time stops
In the wide corner from the cosmos,
The time stops
In domains that infinite
From doorsteps of shooting stars,
The time stops
Everywhere,
The time stops.
Then
The demonstrations follow in succession
From all sides
From all people
those who were born and died,
Those who were born
and are still alive,
And those who will be born,
Carrying candles
That spurt vermillion blood,
And the signs they tore
From the blue clearness of the Iraqi sky
Written on
"God"
Hasn't Iraq's ground had enough blood poured on?

Travels and Abuttal
 

 
 1
 
 The soul
Shines in its eternal abuttal.
Draws isolated circles
Or races the wind?
 
2
 
Contemplates
 At the caverns of the world
 Like the angles' silence,
 A thirst
 Of the corroded edge
 From a not alert
Dream.
 
  3
 
 The purple shadow
 Like astonishing klaxons,
 Its horizons
 A river
 Of glittering blood,
 Eclipse
 Pulsates in all the world
Draws signs
 .From a shed dream
 
4  
 
 Crooked
The eyes of the sun,
Make the pearls
Of the stars heavy
 Which were dissolved
 Like beads of silk brocade
 .In the dish of the cosmos
 
5
 
 Whirlwinds
Ruffle their feathers
 Like a legendary dream,
  Stretches
 In between the whiteness of the snow
And the abuttal wind.
 
  6
 
Sea gulls
Behind far away hedges
Pensive in a flash,
 Inhales
The dark's soul
 In the unknown heart.
 
7
 
 Days
 long for departure
 Its bright dawn
 Is the counting key
Of what's in between
 No ends.
 
8
 
Bevies of butterflies
 Sculptured
 Like the moon's pupils,
Lick the stars' giggles  
Falling
Like smashed pitchers
 .From dreaming boys
 
 9
 
 The pearls' nests
 Brimful
 With malice of the eyes.
 
10
 
 The horizons
 Gush
 From a distance,
 And the waves'
preparedness
For an eternal departure.
 
 11
 
 The queues of the night
 Tickle the light's branches,
And the horizon's dew
 Drowns
 In the swoon of fate.

A Mug of Water

A Mug of Water

Nude and slender
The dawn opens its eyes,
In-between its eyelids
A polar twilight,
A tremble...
Dangled
The sky's arms.
Fading,
Like the morning star,
A rhythm ...
On the flow of pains,
Vapor of the head
Loosens its ambush ...
The things are servile
Like the far away horizon…
Earth,
Like a blue drop of circumference
In the dark corner
Its light: the stars.
Centers
Come and go
Heavy blindness
Pervades the circumference,
And the dawn
Possessor of white hair
Emits his intestine's crowds
And gnaws the aim.
Dome Blue eyes
Dangles
From depth of the maze…
Eyelashes covered by branches,
Created Like the haze of canyons
And hide the secret.
An eternal desert
Golden cinctures
Dances in-between ear and ear
Its gray tail
The depth of circumference.
The summit of the patch slides
Like a surreal pole
And in a gelatinous cave
An earthy progeny lime
Like the tropic snakes Inhaling the fire.
And then for the vapor be
From coronation of a lie like a coronet!
But the truth
Like the air which we inhale,
Mug of a water Achromatic,
Taste,
And smell.
I hear the gulf under the rocks,
To sheathe my soul
In the veins of my bones,
I watch it slide
As a fish In the neck of a bird.
