DEVIL’S DREAM!


1995


Ayad Gharbawi


The Cathedral’s sorrow
Whose eyes
Feel alone
Searching
For stillness
Amidst leaves
Scattering
Murmurs suggesting
That Death calls
You;
Your roads dance
Insane
Bewildering Nature
And her creatures
As Cruelty’s hands
Speak inside
And for yourself
Expounding
Words’ meaningless intents
Let sleep hover
Hover heavy now
‘Neath winds undeciding
I scream!
Hope is nailed!
Love is nailed!
