Atef Ayadi Poems

I checked two
Food stores
The COUNTRY MARKET
And
...

I closed my embassy;
Before that,
I laid off the staff
With no written warning
...

I failed!
I failed!
I also failed my failure.
I cannot move
...

Three solitary colors:
Red,
Blue, and black;
One straight line,
...

She put her fingers
On top of each other
To mimic
The octopus' arms movement
...

... The sun is burning the ground;
... The ground is burning my feet;
.... I am burning a cigarette;
... The cigarette is burning my head;
...

The wind is weeping
Because
Eileen was taken.
I am watching Eileen
...

No cloud
No storm
No humidity
No dust
...

Like water,
Eileen
Does not like
The pain
...

I am looking at the rain
Trying to catch
Eileen's face
Falling with each drop.
...
