Girgis Shoukry

love

The cloud laughed with the window


then it fell,


removed its clothes:


Look,


they broke in folds upon the bed.


The bed looked after their sleep,


as the sound of  clothes came from the


wardrobe.


The walls transmit to the neighbors


the latest details


and the ceiling invites the sky to


a family gathering.


Hurry:


there’s a big laugh escaping from the wall


we must catch it or else


the whole world will burst of laughter.

LOVE
