Poem

Alone …

In a city that cannot translate love

coming from living languages

My heart speaks, so who hears it

My letter speaks, so who reads it

Sleep immerses

In the eyes of those who pass through my mind

neither do they disappear from it

nor do I stop using this language

Only the night understands me

He lulled the city until it slept

and remained to chat with me…

without an interpreter.
