Mask Xii Poem by Atef Ayadi

Mask Xii



She painted
her face:
Dark Sea Green
from chin to eyebrows;

above the eyebrow,
White Green Yellow;


the eye sockets,
with a lighter Turquoise.

I asked her:
'Is it a party? '

she said:
'I want to be
a be
that itches'

to night.

do you have
problem with that? '


I said
'No, you will be
what you are thought to be.'
