ليتني حجر
لا أَحنُّ إلي أيِّ شيءٍ
فلا أَمسِ يمضي، ولا الغَدُ يأتي
ولا حاضري يتقدَّمُ أَو يتراجَعُ
لا شيء يحدث لي!
ليتني حَجَرٌ ـ قُلْتُ ـ يا ليتني
حَجَرٌ ما ليصقُلَني الماءُ
أَخضرُّ، أَصفَرُّ ... أُوضَعُ في حُجْرَ ةٍ
مثلَ مَنْحُوتةٍ، أَو تماريـنَ في النحت...
أو مادَّةً لانبثاق الضروريِّ
من عبث اللاضروريّ ...
يا ليتني حجرٌ
كي أَحنَّ إلي أيِّ شيء!
