Atef Ayadi Poet I do not know?

I Wish

I wish... 
I wish i could write you 
A poem, 
A circular one. 
Within, 
The language changes 
Like a flower emerges from a dot, 
Like a young squirrel gnawing a comma; 
Like a child crawling over letters, 
Frivolously tearing words, 
And arranging them into cubes and pyramids. 
A child is always a genius. 

See, 
Whatever is 
The poem's geometry, 
its relief, 
if it is a harvest, 
Raining, 
Freedom, 
Love, 
Woman, 
War, 
Or spiritual day;
A poem remains a currency,
A God's work 
Never revealed, 
Never finished, 
Never done. 

I wish 
If you let me go back 
To the day 
You were born 
To write, 
Between your infant eyebrows, 
And 
On your lips 
A song 
A happy and dancing 
One. 
And extract from your red cheeks 
A rare wine.
