Corners of a Peregrination

(1)
Give me leeway
Wherein I live off
The pleasure of childhood
And the embrace of peregrination

(2)
Spread out the palm of time
And await me

(3)
Set me free
To the wind
I solicit the mornings
Of language
And the gossips of the coffee shop

(4)
Going lengths
In time
And love

(5)
My vessels are sweating
My sun is melting away
Into a honey spittle

(6)
The kiss of time
Takes me aback
The moon is behind me
His breaths
Slacken the memory of mine
How have I come?
What have I come for?

(7)
To you I fashion
Half a cloud
And half a gull
He dives into a spot of rain
He sketches a wing
Out of my ribs
I become a cloud
I turn into a raining spot
The corners of a peregrination

(8)
My garments are in flames
In Amman

(9)
I come
Into the intimacy of Amman
She distances me from sea smell
And the sway of stone

(10)
The Mount of Louibda
Pens me down
Into the speech of strollers
And props
The body of the smile of mine
Against the walls of his
He carves her into
Abodes
Trees
A woman
Recording
The pulse of her anger
And the nectar of her days.
