Abdel Kader El Janabi

1944 / Baghdad / Iraq

The Vanishing Point Of Man

The river shall flow
and those ones shall then take
without being seen
the antidote and the absences,
it shall flow
and with it whole worlds
with blue claws
and strong features
with yawnings
and with sparkling deaths
that inundate the earth,
it shall flow
and flow again,
and with it a land
that stays silent
so that the tyrant's cattle
may quench their thirst.
