عن إنسان
وضعوا على فمه السلاسل
ربطوا يديه بصخرة الموتى ،
و قالوا : أنت قاتل !
***
أخذوا طعامه و الملابس و البيارق
ورموه في زنزانة الموتى ،
وقالوا : أنت سارق !
طردوه من كل المرافيء
أخذوا حبيبته الصغيرة ،
ثم قالوا : أنت لاجيء !
***
يا دامي العينين و الكفين !
إن الليل زائل
لا غرفة التوقيف باقية
و لا زرد السلاسل !
نيرون مات ، ولم تمت روما ...
بعينيها تقاتل !
وحبوب سنبلة تجف
..!ستملأ الوادي سنابل
