Three Short Poems
By: Hussein N. Jabr
Baghdad/1986
(1)
Slow to Depart
Mirrors, beyond my eyes, I crushed.
Yesterday was just a fleeting moment;
Today is more severe
Than the scars on the skin
in which I hide.
Pale was what remained of me, and
Fast what'd past of my age.
Glory to the successive moments.
We are all passing away
Unnoticed,
Though slow to depart.
(2)
Under the Rain
We shall meet there in winter
At the rail station...in Baghdad:
Two strange sparrows-
Wet and shivering under the rain-
Migrated from the farthest south,
To be left there, nestless.
We've lost our home and all the addresses
of our friends.
There remained alone, Known to no one but the rain.
(3)
The Sun
For not to be celled
The sun rounds its face-
Imprisoned; yet, in its light.
But, when released,
Colourless eyes it becomes
Burning with darkling core,
Devouring its light buds.
When will you be, O, Sun,
As in the dreams of those
Who own no overcoats?
