Atef Ayadi Poems

The time
You are away
I came back
To
...

I am
Sure
You are sitting

I am the animal,
The tiniest,
Useless,
And the powerless.
...

If I am a donkey.
I think I am
When I am
Drunk and dull.
...

Few millenniums of lies,
Beneath a gray ice,
Years and years of lies
Are covering

Your smell
Is watching me
It penetrates my skin
The easy way
...

And the vacuum that comes with it;
Is just my first jump
The beginning of my first test.
...

If I am
Sure;
The word
'Sure'
...

Staying in the Middle
Is safe
But not
As safe
...

Wrap yourself
Around
Your feeling.
And then,
