LETTER OF A MADMAN Ayad Gharbawi A scream In my memory I heard abstractly While you talked to me All I needed were humans Real How will it be When I come to say my farewells to you Towns you built are architecturally horrific Expressiveness denied repeatedly A madman spoke words none heard Turned his brush strokes inside Inner meanings to be meant He spoke of love and deprivations unendurable Killing his bearings Christened himself as emptiness How sad can you feel? Can you understand, readers years from now? Strangers coldened by life Wrote manuscripts and discarded them The oceans profound called out to the madman Whose inner cadaver remained there Devoured by existing fish Oceans bottomless Waters of no oxygen and light Where fish survived in pain Where did humanity touch with nature? I never understood Madman journeyed ‘neath the heavens black and starless The ocean’s bed invited me here Because that’s where I belong I guess
