Ya amar, bury me
across your ribs—
where wind writes, my love
in the dust of your silence.
Your absence is a sama without stars.
a prematurely folded prayer rug.
I wait, as olives wait for salt
for your voice to crack the dawn.
They talk of love as a homeland—
a homeland which the soul cannot map.
So let me live in exile in your name,
A refugee of your fingers.
Every night, I count the steps
From my door to your shadow:
Sabr is the moon's ancient scar, but my patience is a well gone dry.
You wonder why I whisper your name. into the palm of my hands? For God listens best what the heart keeps repeating like rain.
