لو أن الصواريخ لا تتساقط

"Internal Landscape" by Ayham Jabr

فادي جودة | ترجمتها من الإنجليزية رنا عيسى

الحلم لا يلزمنا للكمال،
لا يلزمنا الكمال
في مواجهة الوحش
لكي يكتشف الوحش
قلبه،
جلطاته، ترابيقه،
لكي لا يأكلنا الوحش،
وسخطه يفوق غضبنا بأشواط
لأن ثورتنا مريضة
بالنار التي تنفثها في كهوفنا.
وما الكمال سوى
توازن
في إدراك محلنا في المكان
