POEM: LIKE WAITING!!
POET: Taghrid Bou Merhi
Lebanon/Brasil
Since you have cut the ropes of sleep, while you are waiting for your own self
Go flow from you to yourself
Like a secret blood just drawn from the bank of time.
Oh displaced person to amputated places, while your eyelids shed from departure, sadness drops from the sweat of the sky sixty graves.
While you wait for yourself
Think of the children of death and the fires that burn.
You should have died in order for us to sleep.
You should have eaten the fire ignited from your waiting
So you can expel your pain and render it to ashes.
Die slowly when you come out of yourself
Like a bouquet of flowers turned yellow, so I can feel the alienation and the empty loneliness.
The bird that slumbered on a paper kite, stopped wailing on electricity poles.
The heads of passers-by were giving him a fleeting look.
And a crazy camera stands in the middle of the road: "Oh my helplessness”!.
Oh air cut from the paper of time
There are tricks that failed to cross, there are hands that erase in ink the face of sorrows.
Oh traveller..!
When you get tired of leaning on a cane waiting for yourself
Remember that you are still breathing in the midst of this
