إذا كان الخير هو ما نعتزم القيام به، بأي وسيلة أو شكل، فعلينا ألا نؤخره

If the good is what we intend to do, in any means or form, then we must not delay it.

الخوف والشكوك والقلق من الإفراط في التفكير الذي يمنعنا من القيام بذلك، يجب أن نتخلى عنه

The fear, the doubts, the anxiety from overthinking that stops us from doing so, we must let go of it.

how did we come to lie here

how did we come to lie here? among the wet stones, rusted fences meant to keep us in or out of the world. either way they offend us. pick up a rock, I say, and we’ll play a game. 

how did we come to lie here on our backs, with eyes shut against the light? I feel for your hand. getting warmer, warmer you say. I am hungry and this hunger is a circle we can’t step out of. listen, I can hear the circle now it hums and far in the beautiful(beautiful) distance we hear our children, and we can go back to sleep for a little while longer.

the image(of)the image

we are not after truths. we are after the image of truths. we are safer in the image of the image of truths. what we know is forgettable and what we don’t know we live our lives scared to forget. we are in a place between forgettable knowledge and forfeited knowledge. no door of any width, no squeeze of any heart will free us. once we are gone once we are no more less than we were. from nothing to never silence shame. we see only the image of wounds, and the image of the image of unforgiving fathers, slow-dying in firelight.
