Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--
And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Survivor’s Guilt
By Patricia Kirkpatrick

How I’ve changed may not be apparent.
I limp. Read and write, make tea at the stove
as I practiced in rehab. Sometimes, like fire,
a task overwhelms me. I cry for days, shriek
when the phone rings. Like a page pulled from flame,
I’m singed but intact: I don’t burn down the house.

Later, cleared to drive, I did outpatient rehab. Others
lost legs or clutched withered minds in their hands.
A man who can’t speak recognized me
and held up his finger. I knew he meant
One year since your surgery. Sixteen since his.
Guadalupe wishes daily to be the one before. Nobody
is that. Sometimes, like love, the neurons just cross fire.
You don’t get everything back.

سألني ضابط الحدودْ . كم عمرك ؟ قلتُ : خمس وستون قصيدة .. قال : يا الله .. كم أنتَ طاعن في السن .. !! قلت : تقصد .. كم أنا طاعنٌ في الحرية.

لو لم تكن الحياة صعبة ... لما خرجنا من بطون أمهاتنا نبكي - شكسبير

مثل أشعة الفجر .. ومثل الماء في النهر .. ومثل الغيم والأمطار .. والأعشاب والزهر ..أليس الحب للإنسان .. عمراً داخل العمر!

لا غيركِ يسكن ذاكرتي ، لا غيركِ يسكن أجفاني .. قد ماتت كل نساء الأرض ، وأنت بقيتِ بفنجاني. نزار قباني
