The Pen
Take the pen in your uncertain fingers.
Trust, and be assured
That the whole world is a sky-blue butterfly
And words are the nets to capture it.
–Muhammad al-Ghuzzi, Tunisia
Take the pen in your uncertain fingers.
Trust, and be assured
That the whole world is a sky-blue butterfly
And words are the nets to capture it.
–Muhammad al-Ghuzzi, Tunisia
Kisses my cheek with such harmony
That I can’t speak
Cool and explosive
Licking the hair away from my face
As I grip the steering wheel and steer
Deeper into the rhythm
The sound resonates
Vibrates down my column
I cant think
You touch me and my thoughts strap suicide bombs to their chest
You kiss me
And they sit in the middle of brain,
quietly about to detonate
