Late Night

د.ا3.55د.ا4.26

A poetic text expressing alienation, loneliness, and self-reflection in the face of night and silence.

I dreamt of a childhood wedding, with wide eyes I dreamt I dreamt of the same braid I dreamt of an olive tree that is not sold for a few pennies I dreamt of the impossible walls of your history I dreamt of the scent of almonds igniting the bundles of long nights, of my family I dreamt of my sister’s arm, a scarf of heroism would wrap around me I dreamt of a summer night with a basket of figs I dreamt a lot, a lot I dreamt so forgive me!!
