• Song to counter time

    If I dared, I'd say: the planets, heaven and its genealogy, men and their language as ordained, are floating corpses. *** If I dared, I'd inquire: who is, now, being tried by fire? What does he insinuate, what does he relate? has he confessed? and was he? he was? *** If I dared, I'd chant for the cities crashing into ashes and blood, and to the devouring machine I'd declare: *** It is this time's article of faith, that earth should breed inside a corpse, and a god be suspended as a sort of charm above its arches, by crime. ___________________ Songs of Mihyar the Damamscene Selected and translated by Kamal Abu-Deeb
