Blind Night

Ikram Abdi
Moroccan
21st century

 

Today I shall celebrate this blind night
I shall drink for its health
I shall puff on its complexion some of my cigarette smoke
I shall read him some of my poems
When I am emptied
I shall lead him safe and sound
To the edge of the day

 

Translation by El Habib Louai
