What happened to the Sage

As he was delivering his lecture .. In the crowded hall They were there Patterning his corpse after the latest intelligence reports And leaving the remnants of his blood in the family refrigerator. When he left the podium Amid the music of applause He groped for his neck And found nothing but a terrible emptiness Then a long gash, still damp above his collar. He raced in a panic toward the audience .. Calling for help from the deserted chairs … Stumbling on the chuckles of echoes. *** No one But an old watchman Went on About a crazy man He had seen – just a while ago – Searching … Between the seats for his severed head. ..... .... Amman, 1993 ----------------------- Translated by Nancy Coffin
