Poem
Wadih Sa’adeh
His Face
He sketched his own face and sawthat it looked like someone else.
He added lines and shading,
zigzags,
open squares,
roads . . .
He ripped it to pieces
and disappeared.

وجهه
رسمَ وجهَهُ ورآه
يشبهُ وجهًا آخرَ
أضافَ خطوطًا وملامحَ
أضافَ تعرُّجاتٍ
يشبهُ وجهًا آخرَ
أضافَ خطوطًا وملامحَ
أضافَ تعرُّجاتٍ
ساحاتٍ
طُرُقاتٍ
... مزَّقَ الورقةَ
واختفى
طُرُقاتٍ
