WELL, IN ORDER
*
Well, in order to reduce you,
I’d have to know your name
or I could proceed in my
reduction,
by simply making up
one
but it wouldn’t be
the same.
*
What’s happening is
not now.
What’s happening is
absent
from the
memory
of familiar things—
*
When music moans inside,
no silence can be found
You could go on disturbing,
you could go on denying
but the sound will make the
echo
and the echo
will resound.
*
The brain is just a well.
When it fills to the brim
it drowns.
(Ahmad Almallah)
