DEATH OF INSPIRATION

Ayad Gharbawi

1995

Forgive them
Those who fall
Failing in their grasp
To touch beauty’s breath

And so,
Tenderness suffers
From her abused brain
Boxed so many times
By intending fists
Splintering without
Pause.

--
It's so beautiful when
Water catches fire
Embraces the flames
On its painted glass surface
The deep reds and oranges
Flickering
And the cool blues and greens splash
They mix together
For a few hours of magic
The air is just right
The trees blow and dance
As if in celebration
Of this impossible experience
Till the waves engulf the fire
And turn into a deep, thick
Pool of black.
