The Dams

Always dawn is read and repeated. Always these caves beneath the skin. Always these dams and debris, and these almshouses. Always these cemeteries under the eyelashes, these dismembered limbs, these victims of your songs, where there is no land in your face, no dance, no birth. Always the abortion in your veins. You have a star in the husk, a legacy in the rock, and in daylight a homeland. O, prince of emptiness, O, language in which winds and dimensions become hollow. ___________________ Songs of Mihyar the Damamscene Selected and translated by Kamal Abu-Deeb
