The Lantern

In the midday sun he carries his lantern, searching for a human soul. No sand in his eyes, wearing the sandals of dust. He walks in a barrel, his hands are his quilt. -And you, what? -I have no eyes. Between me and my brothers rises Cain. Between me and the Other roars the flood. When night and daylight fall asleep, I steal by the blood-thirsty butcher. I walk- dust walking behind me- but I carry no lantern. ___________________ Songs of Mihyar the Damamscene Selected and translated by Kamal Abu-Deeb
