From Distance Poem by Atef Ayadi

From distance,
You look
Badly taken:

-Ugliness is the beauty
when it is taken
or left to distance, time have not
change it since the ancient time -


From close,
I see closely your beauty
And truthful face.

I am beautifully rigid
From distance

And ugly
As you are
Approaching me.


Now,
What is my options?
What is your options?

Should I neutralize you
First?

Should you neutralize me
First?

Or should I leave it to the distance

Or is there a minimum distance
Between
Your skin
And
My breath?
