لا شامة تدل أمي علي

by Ghassan Zaqtan, غسان زقطان

والفتاة التي من دمشق ستبقى ويبقى لها ضوؤها في الفراش وتبقى لها وسوسات الأساور في عتمة فوقها كالثياب وهاء وتاء تخالس عشاقها بين بابين، توما الغريب وباب الحجاز ويبقى لها صوتها، بحّة في الظلال كطير وحيد مضى موهنا وتصعد غرفتها في المجاز فيشهق ما ظلّ منها هناك ويشهق ما ظلّ منها هنا
