Why did you leave the horse alone?

Poems. I see my ghost coming from a distance --

Icons of the place's crystal --

A cloud in my hand --

Innocent villagers --

The owl's night --

The eternity of the cactus --

How many times will it be over --

To my end and to its end --

Abel's space --

Ismael's ʻoud --

Strangers' walk --

The raven's ink --

The tatar's swallows --

The train passed --

Chaos at resurrection's gate --

The well --

Like the nun in surat al-Rahman --

Huriyya's teaching --

Ivory comb --

The phases of Anat --

The death of the phoenix --

A room to talk to oneself --

Poetic arrangements --

From the Byzantine odes of Abu Firas al-Hamdani --

From one sky to another, dreamers pass --

One traveler said to another : we won't return as-- --

A rhyme for the odes --

The sparrow, as it is-- --

Rain on the Church tower --

Helen, what a rain --

Night overflowing the body --

To the gypsy, a well-tuned sky --

First lessons on a Spanish guitar --

The seven days of love --

The curtain falls --

Bertolt Brecht's testimony before a military court --

A non-linguistic dispute with Imru' al-Qays --

Sequences for another time --

As he draws away.
