Joman Abumahfouz Stand Poems
- 1. “a Figure Of Speech”
this is where our story takes a turn .
where all the abruptness in the world starts to connect . where everything we thought was accidental starts to make sense . where all my broken pieces patronize me, and i patronize them back.
i was chosen to stand longingly on the ground where all miseries occur,and you were chosen to lie under them . you get to lie,and i get to inescapably feel them .
... - 2. “night”
do i stand still on the sea
and let it wash me right
do i let my words free
and be held to my word
...
