I Learned Poem by Atef Ayadi

I wan to learn

a
simple sound


i want a child


like me


so i can

first

survive, live
and
thrive


help me eileen


with all your historical skills


tell me
how far are we
from the next galaxy



can you!
stop there
between these two arms
spanish cactus girl?

what you hear is what you
see...

do you see me
or hear
me

you are writing

something?

to the children

of your past tiny old world...
