ANGLES OF SAND

Written By Shareef Al-SHAFI’I

(Translated By: Professor, Mohammed Enani):

 

Wounding your sword with your cells,

Your store victory in a game .. which is yours alone.

The masses are days scattered about.

You, my girl, now read the glass on my forearms,

Giving me a desire ..

.. to glide over the constants.

The backbone is free of any slaves' necks,

And the fingers grow on a river bank.

For a distance,

I may: have a mistress-oh, for a flower of salt,

Blessed with clashing hurricanes.

How did your flesh pour forth,

In the earth's amazent ..

Inventing: a girl child freezing,

And a woman for banquets?

A mallet on the weeds of your eyes.

Buttons of coma in your shirt..

Whoever did unleash the ox,

In the body/letter?

The girls want a man to be a cane,

And the flies come down on the dead thigh,

Whose silence calls on you to climb it.

A coffee, brewed from "I love you",

Is in the throat,

And a woman, as in the beginning,

Is an apple..

(Her heaped breast is an apple).

As multiple, it leaves its hallmark,

In an inhalation..,

Will you come in-(for I am only)

Some bunches of grapes, engrossed in:

Trying to discover my race,

A man whose mother suckled him..

His name, as a curdling milk?

What is the colour of this.. ..?

So that the green colour of my blood,

Is truly the language of truth?

A whirlpool of noises,

While you remain outside an inviting bottle.

A piece of you, spun with my own hand.

We meet,

And to you comes a man engrossed,

In trying to discover his race. (1996-Cairo).
