Saadia Mufarrah

1964 / Kuwait

Electra

This ambiguous being
where the humming of truth blends
with the sweetness of myth
and the expected poem
with memories whose heroic images are overblown
and where there is
a lonely photograph that
I stand in front of as if it's a mirror
whenever the hidden questions multiply
and sneak towards me
from the holes in the family tales
amputated by necessity.
