Fire Cycle Poem by Atef Ayadi

I will burn
All your desires.
I do not even have to promise that.
I will!
And I already started.
It is in my nature
there are no ethics in desire
It is the only aggressive,
Unforgiving,
Unfair, and
Enslaving, and
Unconventional
War
I know.

I will burn everything in you,

So that you know fear from fairness
love from hate
and all the dual
Junks,
And finally you will have
Your natural
Smile,
hands,
Legs,
Face, and your natural
Hand writing back to you.

So,
You will recognize
What you want from what you do not,
What you want to say and not to say,
So,
You will know
Curves from straight lines.

So,
You can redefine your norms
Adjust your language
And reset your compass.


I will burn everything in you
And i will leave nothing for chance.

You will rise
Like a new
green forest
After a devastating continental fire.
