Saddal Diab: Poems

I confess

Saddal Diab Feb 2018

I confess that I am guilty

Of the shame that entrenches

Of my hand that doesn’t clutch

Yet recoils and dampens stiff

Of my joints

Weary

Of my gaze

Strained

Of myself

Harmed

Haiku (9)

Willow weep for me
grieving tidings for my dreams
mercy set me free

Haiku (2)

little girl alone
blue no longer a color
but heart's mourning song.

Encountered Dream

Saddal Diab Feb 2018

Encountered Dream

I greeted my dream

Shock engulfed me as I saw

A boiling cursed creature

Walking stick and hunched back

piercing eyes carved crow’s feet

With mangled emotion

It cried

“You have betrayed me”
