Poems

from ‘The Death of Abderrahman’

The sun and the moon move by precise calculation - Quran 55:5
 
After the reckoning 
Confusion
Where         the star the tree
 
Early         the visit
Foretelling 
 
That day 
Your heart is light
Happiness 
Celebrating at home
Those waiting round the corner
Hired killers
 
*
 
Blessings 
shall we deny
mercy
Two gardens in bloom
two more in shade
The wait is long
the springs are dry
crying out 
when you wake
four assassins 
seize you
