Joumana Haddad Poems

No one can guess
what I say when I am silent,
who I see when I close my eyes,
...

When I sit before you, stranger,
I know how much time you'll need
to bury the distance between us.
...

I don't remember
that I undressed in daylight
for a man
...

When your eyes meet with my solitude
Silence becomes fruit
And sleep turns into storm.
...

I will be strewn on your bed
like fingerprints of fire.
I will be implanted in your night
...
