Atef Ayadi Poems

I looked at a woman earring
With the eyes of a
Child.
I am a curious creature!
...

Why I should be
American?
'Cause
Americans
...

I am the animal,
The tiniest,
Useless,
And the powerless.
...

If I am a donkey.
I think I am
When I am
Drunk and dull.
...

Shiba
Disappeared under the
Arabian
Satiric sands
...

I went to a flower shop
to buy
A red rose for Eileen.
The seller looked at me
...

Maker’s Mark,
Old Grand Dad,
Wild Turkey,
Seagram's Vo,
...

The time
You are away
I came back
To
...

Few millenniums of lies,
Beneath a gray ice,
Years and years of lies
Are covering
...

Your smell
Is watching me
It penetrates my skin
The easy way
...
