My Memories Poem by Atef Ayadi

My memories
Are my soil and my
Ground zero.
It is not important
Where I grow up
Or where I live,
Whether
In
An earth quakes zone,
A lava zone,
A war zone,
A mines zone,
A genocide zone,
A disaster zone,
A meteorite zone,
A god zone,
A love zone, or
A hate zone;
I will build on top of its mountains,
Underneath, or
Near its shores.

As if they all surge all at once;
As if the whole world has no memories;
As if I have the whole world's memory.
