Benarrioua Aniss
“Behind my words are my hopes

And behind my hopes is an angel singing my death and yours
I said to her "It's the ending of a cycle and the ending of me in your life"
She is now awake to the sound of nature and the angel's voice
We are soaring in the approaching stars
I am dreaming and cannot comprehend it
I have seen the stars
Dear stars: the awakening and the loss, we are born and fall
Dear stars, you too are above and lost and hanging like a booklet unread yet open for us all

Behind my eyes is a secret
I vouched to never share it
I see the selfsame eyes of my mother and my grand mother
And the eyes of my great grandmother, whom I never knew but felt
And so this line unto the Alef and the omega point at infinity
With my eye still I see the light, the crow that sees everything and smiles
And knows everything and smile
We comprehend a moment through him and smile
I see all around my skin and beyond
I have sung one thousand songs on the electric body
I have invented my self
I have killed my self
I am just a form of English words written by an Algerian spirit”
― Benarrioua Aniss, Sins of Algiers

Benarrioua Aniss
“Now I give this rascal weight from off my head
The pride of a streetborn artist from off my chest
With my own hands I renounce my earthly claims
With my own sins I ink this very book
In this vaudevillian theater we’ve all had our plays
Of wisdom, folly, love songs and lamentations of twin flames”
― Benarrioua Aniss, Sins of Algiers
