Trains
Arabic Poem by: Abdulsadah Al-Basri
Translated into English by:
Inaam Al-Hashimi (Gold_N_Silk)
=============================
In the book of our lives,
The trains wrote their eternal epic
And kept taking our names
Embroidering stories and tales around them
Train for travelers
Trains of goods
Trains for the wounded
Trains for soldiers going to war
Trains of death
Trains for convicts
Trains of prisoners of war
Trains for water
Trains for inspecting stations
Trains for lighting
Trains faster than life
Trains ...
Trains ...
Trains ....
And the trains are telling the story of a dream
Perhaps in the memory .
the poem was written in 1999 and published in yr. 2000 in the poet’s second collection titled ?????? (Topography) .
