Azure was the sky, and leaden was the sea; Not surprising would the discord be For him who has read Wordsworth. What ailed his thoughts were the debris Of broken glass fishermen-in-boats Might have thrown into the ocean On a night of 'Celtia'* with no pairing, Or the sight of a woman’s dress Whose swollen darkness was A sea urchin, whose quills Were plucked by the greenness of rust; Or a German parachute Over Kasserine pass**, my thyme nest And the center of Tunisia. ©LazharBouazzi, July 15, 2018

The Swim
As the shape all sun tore up the curtain of blood and ululation, everything in Tunisia, as stricken by a wand, came to a standstill, and slipped away from the senses - Even rivers stopped. Medjerda* froze halfway through the descent to his destination, as he realized he’d been making a fatal error: pouring forth all his passion into the ocean. So he stopped, retracted his course, re-collected himself, and started flowing backward, toward the source in the Atlas that had bidden him farewell. In his spear head there was a design: start a new chaos in the valley, in which there would be a sweet-water lake and sailors drunk with sunbeams, sweat and pleasure. Butterflies would flutter around the scent of mint and bluegreen rosemary. Sweet Moon to Sweet Lake would come, unannounced, In the rays of the nightlight of the fluttering night to watch her self shoot the scene of representation. The river, now swimming in his own water,   carried the sky on his shoulder, while an ant and a grasshopper, holding a basket together, watched the new scene. As the figure all sun appeared , reason melted; imagination her hazel eyes opened. *Medjerda is the most important river in Tunisia. Length, 460 km; basin area, 22,000 sq km. It flows out of the Atlas mountains into the Gulf of Tunis. © LazharBouazzi, June 16, 2016

Ode to the Tunisian Revolution (re-vision/re-post)
The moon says the final word tonight - Casual-recherché and light; She, in the absence of the sun, Leafs through the pages of the night And shoots a side-look at the pond, As her desire stretches far beyond His specular contour. © LazharBouazzi, Carthage, Tunisia

A Poet's Prayer in the Desert
I When the ant had told, That December cold Night, the grasshopper, Who had spent his summer Singing in the tree, To go dance now that He was hungry & free, He didn’t show the hurt, Because he was alert To the pain Of winter and language, So he left the village. II When he, thirteen years Later, Came back as a baker (Who worked in the day And sang in the night) He went to see the ant, A blue guitar gift-wrapped - In his hand. © LazharBouazzi, TUNISIA

The Ant & The Grasshopper

In the yellow, cold light of the wine-dark night _ between the new mall and the Roman Site _ he staggered alone, drunken with "Magon"* and memories. Vast, so vast is the night _ vast as the memory of an English prairie, and an emmer-haired maiden he had walked to the ferry on a summery day. Vast, so vast is a night masquerading as a want of sight. © LazharBouazzi

Night in Tunisia
A crimson boat waives the flow of the waves as a blonde figure craves an infernal sun. Next to the maiden and the dandy-fella, blossoms a vermillion umbrella whose role was to play a timid cellar for two red apples and one apricot the blonde damsel could have brought to quench her burning   want of the lustful monster. Closing her ice-blue eyes, the fair woman, her sinful inspiration did summon to come carve on her body so sullen the orange vision of the new Benzart bridge. © LazharBouazzi, Carthage, TUNISA *"Benzart" is the Tunisian name for “Biserta” or “Bizerte”- a beach town on the northern coast of Tunisia.

Romantic Irony
*in the villages in days of yore young men proved their vigor by lifting gigantic rocks* but in 2012 - the remarkable year of the French Village of Bugarach (where many sagacious youths gathered) - away in Tunisia, the young man downs eggs egg-citedly in a dare and he’s up to his esophagus in 28 eggs raw when something in him cracks (O poor wasted youth of 20) and just 2 before winning his bet he dies; it’s Armageddon for him in 2012, though he also gains an epiphany: *28 raw eggs can **** caveat of course O Ye Olde Sensitive Souls this is not a yoke - I mean, this is not a joke For verily, 28 eggs can ****

28 eggs can ****
It is the last Tuesday of March in 2011 Two months ago, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali Prime minister of Tunisia, was forced into exile Twenty three years is enough He needs that time in Saudi Arabia It does not feel like it has been two months Because the world, right after that January Has been shaken up Egypt has since forced Hosni Mubarak Their dictator of thirty years Out of the country and onto the shores of the Red Sea Democracy by will of the people Popular uprising A violent revolution perhaps But yes, revolution in freedom, ideals These countries will be different For the better I hope Now the people of Libya are up in arms Crying and fighting for their freedom And because there is so much oil in Libya And because Gaddafi is letting his troops fire on civilians The UN is sweating and threatening to take action Aside from the awful earthquake in Japan I blame the people of Tunisia for doing the right thing

Moon (Night 3)
there were old men laying around the pool like cigarette butts in an ashtray burnt out and diminishing as their feet dangle in the water lapping up against their knees they talked about the old war the good war back in a time when there was war to believe in now what? now they have their feet in a pool fat white skin burning in the moonlight while knobby knees are canvas to varicose veins and the occasional scar --oh this one from surgery, this one from a foxhole dug out some hillside near Salerno sliced up the side of my leg nice and good, yessir, killed the **** guinea though don't worry-- and they would hold out their arms to explain how they held those old standard issue springfield's while arthritis shook that imaginary rifle to the point of danger but they never noticed leaning in to stare down the sights aiming carefully at some elusive foe across the pool they would laugh at how much they hated those guns they would laugh at the insanity of it all how young they had been how old they were now how much had changed and how much hadn't their wives were all gone left widowed or divorced all it seemed they had was Tunisia or Italy or that French beach early morning in 1944 the world is a battlefield for old men with no weaponry but old stories caked in dust

A crimson boat waives the flow of the waves as a blonde damsel craves an infernal sun.

Closing her ice-blue eyes, the fair woman, her sinful inspiration did she summon to come carve on her body so sullen a scarlet picture of the new Benzart bridge. © LazharBouazzi, Carthage, TUNISA *"Benzart" is the Tunisian name for “Biserta” or “Bizerte”- a beach town on the northern coast of Tunisia.

Benzart* Beach (re-post)
There is never new and there is nothing see old The sky Of Tunisia, easily I can fold and unfold In a notch of eye sight like magnificent light Yes, Sometimes a day and many times in night leaves are waved and stars a glowing in dark They has given me absolute and divenly spark Everything looks delighted as an eternal ray Tunisia, my faith is stronger then previous day What a dream, a poet can see you almost free Can see the Monastir, a capital of world poetry I do feel pleasure in a beach at wonder sunset You are my Mediterranean sea is really great Smell of silence are spreaded from the south Sahara ! travellers way, dessert of thirsty mouth No water, Dust is whiffed that freedom of ridge Tunisia ! A soft sister of Egyptian Sandy breeze Douz, a town at Sahara's edge for camel ride Which is kept Romans gallery, nothing to hide Serene cloud on top witnessed of Arab Spring Men of Tunis proved by revolution none is king Oh my sister ! I salute you for full of orbed glory An amazing love of solitary, a successful lorry At the time of grim sand storm whirled a while In obscure can move with poem mile after mile

Tunisia
Look at the dormant summer noon Drowsing by the pregnant tree And lulled to his vision of the moon By a wandering honey bee Whose songs are so sweet and subdued Like a score of apples waiting in A cluster Not knowing when they will be plucked So they, too, hung on a sleeper’s specter. © LazharBouazzi, TUNISIA
