No more
tears to cry
 
thirst and hunger
have calcified my ducts
and the pain of crying
 
succumbs
to the pain of dying
               in the dust

               unnourished
               like a stone

                  embedded
              in a dry wadi

 

             the earth is thirsty 
                  it too is hungry

 

             a n d   c r i e s  . .


             how do I
             feed myself

             in a land of plenty
               that has nothing  .  ?

 

a land where ~


           you can’t rest
              your search

 

              ‘c a u s e .  .

 

              if you rest

                       you


             s t a r v e  .  !

 

a land where ~


               the corrupt


                is corruptible
                beyond measure

 

                I  s a y  .  !

 
               let them bleed                                     from the end


               of   a   r o p e  !
