Two Poems
Adeeb Kamal Ad-Deen
1.
The tree that
I visit
every day
Where the bird's nest
and at the end of the river,
She has said,
'Because I am
a holy myth
And you are
a myth
whose crown and scepter
Have been taken
So the dialogue
with you
is unacceptable.
And if it gets acceptable it will be useless'!
2.
The bird has said,
The bird whose nest
sleeps
on the lonely tree,
'Do not ask about my name
Whether
my name was crow
or
dove.
But
ask about your ship:
Your ship
that was
left
by
Noah
A long time ago
And
all the creatures had disembarked
Happily
from it.
Whereas you stayed
in it alone
as death
Waiting for the miracle:
The
ship
sails
Alone
Again!'
