Fingers

 

It’s the foundation

Of my fingers

Which practicing me

Towards the absolute capacity

(And luring you all away!)

I declare myself

With fingers

That represent my lips

 

So

Come and gather around me:

Rise up

(There; you will never happen!)

 

Hence

I am exhilarating

Through my Pearl

And

My teeth

(One jump and I’ll be you all!)

 

Now

I’m racing my lust,

Opening my stature,

Game by game.

 

I’m advancing

-With fallen feet-

Sneaking to

My fingers

Which

Envelop me

To start

Just one luxury.                         Baghdad 1990
