لهاثْ
كأنَّها تَقتربُ من البابِ
تسمعُ دقات قلبِكَ
أو
كأنك في انتظارِها
تَحْضُرُ طيورُ الضُّحى
وتَصْطَفُّ على النافذةْ
.........
ساعةٌ من الصَّبرِ
غابةٌ من الهديلِ والشقشقةْ.
Breathless
Your heart thumps —
as if she were already
at your door.
Or — as if expecting her —
all the birds in the midday sky
arrive to clamour at your window.
.........
An age of patience.
A forest of fluttering.
Breathless
As if she is now approaching
your door
your heart started beating
And
as if expecting her
The birds of noon are gathering
to line up at your window
………………
An hour of patient waiting
A forest of chirp and cooing!
