    Fatiha Morchid

    Side by side

    The white blouse

    I conceal my pain
    And grin
    I hasten to the notebooks of days
    Use rouge on my lips
    Navy-blue Kohl on my eyelids
    And dress in white.


    I sit behind a desk
    Listening to the pain of others


    Who cares
    For my pain!
