Or a Little More

Adeeb Kamal Ad-Deen

 

 

 

After repeating your naked picture in my poem

Combing your long hair in front of the mirror

For half a century or a little more,

I decided to wipe this bitter honey from the memory.

So I got down

Off the continent of water and the evening

Crossing seven seas or a little more

To enter your window that was full with nudity,

Full with your long hair,

Full with your huge mirror,

O woman of the mirror.

But I was surprised that your window was not in its place,

There was no mirror for you to undress in front of,

There was no house on the ground

And your street disappeared from the map.

The entire suburb and the whole city lost with it.

So I got back quickly

Crossing seven seas or a little more

To enter your living picture in my poem

For half a new century,

For half a century or a little more.
