on Al-Mutanabbi (في المُـتنبي )

all the men sparking cars & all of them parking bombs, they fear
your feet – your shoes are novels – they fear your ribs – the books
strapped to your hips. Words shake them nervous, just look

on Al-Mutanabbi (في المُـتنبي )


all of them, blind to the knives inside your vowels. One day we
will walk together. Really! We’ll share kabobs & browse the
used fiction. When your novel is untied, I’ll bend down to tie it &
make those men jealous

on Al-Mutanabbi (في المُـتنبي )


all the men bark because no one taught them how to read the city
