her voice

He asked her what is the color of – 
her voice.

and the story of what season does it
tell.

What does it smell like.
What does it taste like.

***

And she replied
It's the color of fire
telling the story of winter
smells like rain
tastes like the brown earth


***

(1)
أسمك إمرأة
صوتك صوت المطر
رائحتك النسيم
مشيتك الزمن
سائلة بدمي
دائماً وأبداً



(2)
طيري قريباً للشمس
فإن ﻻ تحترقي
لم تعيشي!
إحترقي
عيشي
