[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sonomod_me: [QB] [b]I See My Ghost Coming from Afar[/b] Like a balcony, I gaze upon whatever I desire. I see my friends bearing the evening mail - wine, bread, a few novels and records. I gaze upon a seagull and troop trucks arriving to change the trees of this place. I gaze upon the dog of the neighbor who left Canada a year and a half ago. I gaze upon the name of Al-Mutanabbi journeying from Tiberias to Egypt on a horse of song. I gaze upon the Persion flower leaping the iron fence. Like a balcony, I gaze upon whatever I desire. I gaze upon trees guarding the night from the night and the sleep of those who would wish me death. I gaze upon the wind chasing the wind so that it might find a home in the wind. I gaze upon a woman basking in herself. I gaze upon the procession of ancient prophets climbing barefoot to Jerusalem and I ask: [i]will there be a new prophet for this new time?[/i] Like a balcony, I gaze upon whatever I desire. I gaze upon my image hurrying away from itself, ascending the stone stairs, my mother's scarf in her hand flapping in the wind: what might happen if I were a child again? And if you came back to me, and I came back to you? I gaze upon the trunk of the olive tree that hid Zechariah. I gaze upon the extinct words in the Arabic dictionary. I gaze upon the Persians, the Romans, the Sumarians and the new refugees..... I gaze upon the necklace of Tagore's women [i]fakirs[/i] as it is crushed by the carriage of a handsome emir. I gaze upon a hoopee tired of his king's blame. I gaze upon the unseen: [i]What will come --- what will come after the ashes?[/i] I gaze upon my body frightened from afar. Like a balcony, I gaze upon whatevr I desire. I gaze upon my language. I little absence is enough for Aeschylus to open the door to peace, for Antonio to make a brief speech at the outbreak of war, for me to hold a woman's hand in my hand, to embrace my freedom, and for my body to begin its ebb and tide anew. Like a balcony, I gaze upon whatever I desire. I gaze upon my ghost approaching from afar. [i][b]- Mahmoud Darwish[/b][/i] Oh goodness Mr. Darwish was such a looker when he was younger. His poems make me tingle! :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
