“i hardened under the last loss. it took something human out of me. i used to be so deeply emotional i’d crumble on demand. but now the water has made its exit. of course i care about the ones around me. i’m just struggling to show it. a wall is getting in the way. i used to dream of being so strong nothing could shake me. now. i am. so strong. that nothing shakes me. and all i dream is to soften. -numbness”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“ماذا عليَّ لو اطَّهَرتُ من كَبْتِي
وطُفتُ سَبعَةَ أشواطٍ بأُوشَبْتِي

يَمَّمتُ تابوتَها أمْتاحُ مُلهِمَةً
فقِيلَ تابَتْ ؛ فهَلْ يا زَورَقي تُبتِ؟!

عن طعنِكِ البَحرَ حتى يرتَمِي ثَمِلاً
على شُطوطِكِ ذاتِ الظِّلِّ و النَّبْتِ؟

أم عَن تَلَوُّنِكِ المَزهُوِّ في لُغَتي:
أينَعتِ بالنَّعتِ أو في الاسمِ أطْنَبتِ؟

حاشاكِ .. هل توبَةُ الطاغُوتِ مُنجِيَةٌ
إيَّايَ مِن بَعدِ أن آمَنتُ بالجِبتِ؟!

أنشَبتُ في المُومِيَا الكَحْلاءِ أُغنِيَتي؛
وفِيَّ أنشَبتِ حتى قِيلَ أنشَبتِ ..

أرضِي و أرضُكِ .. هذا العِشقُ مُمْطِرُنا
أعشَبتُ أقْفَرتِ أو أقفَرتُ أعشَبتِ

تُخومُنا لا تَبينُ اليومَ؛ نحنُ ثَرَىً
مُسافِرٌ في ثرَىً .. لا أُبتُ أو أُبتِ"
......................
