FoldsA Poem by Omar
The folds, And if only I can Retreat in between Old dusty pages Of a library Or not, Into clean fragrant sheets Of a childhood bed Ironed afresh Fold me and tuck me Swallowed into The cotton Of a good night-- O, fault lines of Beirut Open up and take me in your shade, To seep into the veins of the pavements And through the cracks in the walls Of the city On a rainy Rainy day if only © 2012 Omar |
