To my friends eating supper — Wael
I met them eating supper
Look at me, for a moment, did they
And no one returned my greeting
The hands, went back, handling the spoons
in their dish of soup
Stare in the bowl, did I
Damn you,
Beware, My blood!
I yelled
Care not did they
The hands handling the spoons
And licking the blood were the lips
