Promised Land
Francois Basili Jul 2018
Your body is my promised land,
My river Nile
One generation tolling from another
Slit, wombs and eon
Departing from eon
A God of good, evil, cinders and hymns
Knights and lasses
Tears and handkerchiefs
Peoples procreating and perishing
Earth is wailing
As I move from one body to another
From one country to another
In search of the Promised Land

The Nile says:
You will be back to me
There is no one else.
Translated from Arabic

— The End —
