لكل جواد كبوة

كلشي كيحضي السربة فعز تبورديتها، ولايني تا حد ما مكيتسوق نهار كيطيح السلهام..

هاد الكلام سمعتو فبدية الزمان من جدي و محسيت بيه تا حسيت بيه.. عشت من القرن خمسين عام كنت فيها فرحان و همة و شان، كانت كلمتي لا خرجات من فمي ما كتدورش و كتقصد المسامع نيشان، ما خليت بلدان ما خليت دواور زرت فالدنيا كل مكان، تال نهار ختار الإكتئاب يذوقني من تمرو و يكويني بجمرو..

حليت عيني فالصباح و شفت بلي ضو الشمش غاب من روحي..

تما نسيت الرباح و بركت على سفينة الدمع كنساين ف نوحي..

دوزت ليام الملاح، كنعلم فلي جا و فلي جال و فليل كنسا لوحي..

غواتني الدنيا بلا تفاح، بركاتني، غدرات نفسي و قالت ليها بوحي..

فهمات منها بارود الفرح منين كايخرج و بدلات لي المكحلة بما كحل منها، فاش جيت نقصد الهم لقيت الدم خارج من جلابتي..

قضيت يام كنداوي الجرح، كنعرج و كنصبر فراسي واخا فراسي لي كلاتو الدنيا عمرو يحل الفم، ضربت الطم و عنقت وسادتي..

آيه أسيدي، لكل جواد كبوة و لكل فارس هفوة.. و أنا طيحتي كي العثماني ما وراها غفوة.. بست عَوْدي و غرست في قبري عودي.. و كُلْ جَوَادْ كَبْوَةهنا سالات حكاية الحاكم و مزال فيدي حكايات منها لي خرج سالم و منها لي سالا عادم..

The last confession

Parents are forgotten gods. My first act of worship was not a prayer but irrevocable love for my parents. It was easy to cast parents as gods when they were your eyes to a new life. The slow movement of your mouth as your teeth grind food, the small steps that you take confidently in a stride now, the smile that goes too wide because there is no shame in showing a moment of joy: all of my parents’ teachings live through me. I was their New Testament, their Vedas, their Torah, and so were they to me. Their voices wrestled in my head at every decision. What would my parents do? In moments of fear, I reached for the safe blanket of parental security to take cover in. Their ideas seemed so big and inconceivable. My inexperience ascended them to the pedestal of gods. I sought their blessing as earnestly as any believer. Heaven was the small smile of approval. Hell was the disappointment concealed behind indifference. It was important to maintain this balance, albeit impossible; my brain fou...

To you, my June

I am sick of the smell of this hospital. It irritates my nostrils, I hope I never get to smell it again. The beds are washed with low quality bleach, the one they get for dirt cheap, its stench so strong it blinds you at first. They wash the sheets everyday, as if us breathing on them, touching them, is enough to sully their fabric to the point of no return. The nurses look at you, the most beautiful man to have walked this earth, and turn their scrunched noses away. They never see past your chart. They don't glimpse the ethereal beauty that entranced me the first time I saw you, that got me hooked until now. I walked into a room so familiar it felt like home. All the voices harmonizing on that stage were ones I knew and loved. Gary's baritone, Adam's slightly higher pitch, and Paul's inability to hold a note, they all mixed into an amalgamation of sounds that felt like a hug. I was never a singer before meeting these people, never cared for it, but I was starved for ...

What do I do with this love?

Today I woke up as one does. I had my cup of coffee, part of a routine I don't dare disturb. I wore the same outfit I had on yesterday, it wasn't hard to find it. It was right where I left it last night. And the night before. In a sad heap by the foot of my bed. I couldn't wear my rings, or anything on my wrist, its heaviness would make everything else unbearable. I left the house, keys jingling as I shoved them in my bag. I would struggle to fish them out of the mess when I get back, but that's something I'll have to figure out later. The bus is late, it always is. By the time I can see its carcass in the horizon, I've already developed a dull ache in my left knee. I wince as I climb the step. I pay the man whose face won't hold a place in my memories, they are already filled to the brim. I take a space to sway back and forth during a journey I know too well. The familiarity of it all is what makes it easy to navigate. It requires no effort to redo someth...
