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?

Regards a Great Sacrificial Victim
 

1

Pale
Autumn is permeating
Like a vivacious wild cat
And the snow’s sash jump
From the back window
Like white ducks of heaven

2

A secret
We reproduce from one Adam
Or a thousand

3

(( Their bloods is the music of
creation ))

4

O God
Seven skies or a thousand
In blink of an eye
You're possible of creating
An extended world like the eternity
Where there will be no death

5

The calmness of a lamp's torch
On a herb of a fog
Where my soul hung
A white butterfly
Crystal as a fire
Magician like a mirage

6

I’ m, the solitary between the seasons
Drinking my memory
Washing up in the oasis of a mirage
Pulling out my bone’s skin
Throwing myself into
the space's wide bed,
As I comb my insomnia
With the dream’s wary


7

One after the other canopy
Ports like floating pears
The lower world and the dreams
Boats that taste of almond
They plunge in sinner cells

8

Didn’t see a star that seeps life
As the Earth seep despots
And the wise stars that court
one another
Without preserving the secret
of immortality
9

A rover
On soft feathers,
Walks through the whirl of eternity
While the stars are sinking silently
In which a jinni doesn't abduct

10

A wide nothingness
At the distance of the way
Perfumed by vacuum

11

Years in speed of light
Bearing the noisiness
To a yet unborn eternity

12

Times
Previously
Remoteness
A trick jumped before the flood
Was a corner of wide nothingness
Takes refuge in an egg of calm mild
Under the cosmos's lids.

13

O for the secrets of the cosmos
Before creation
Except for divinity, what was he doing
14

(( Thus the mechanical heart
spurts the dreams ))

15

Moan and moan
How much is the war a ruin?
At the dawn prayer
The houses kneel.

16

Gelatinous dreams
The wisdom of a generation
from the center of darkness
And who believe in the invitation
of God
The innocence shines
from his nostrils.

17

Seven slender cows
Or seventy?

18

Reluctant
A small ball by the size of Earth
Regards a great sacrificial victim

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.
