Ahmed Barakat

Casablanca 25/06/1993

Everything is OK
At the beginning of each hour the radio diffuses
The great heart’s beats

The walls do not suffer any trouble in the lungs
The streets can with a little effort be cleaned
From the trace of tears
The sky needs but a few touches
And a few recent photos of some angels

Even those who died because of you
Will forgive you in a delightful feast
