إحدى يديه كانت منهمكة بالعبث في خصلات شعري والأخرى كان ينفث بها سيجارته ، إلتقطتها منه بغضب وبإمتعاض ممقوت وهمست له : دعها تلك اللعينة فلن أسمح بأن تشاركني فيك ! ↗

أنا أخبئ بين أقفاص صدري أوجاع نساء الأرض ودموع الصغار ، أنا أحمل على عاتقي خيبات ثكلى ! وفي حنجرتي تستقر حشرجة حزن مدوية .. أنا الأنثى التي تقام كل ليلة على مدائن قلبها مآتم الخذلان ! وبالرغم من ذلك الأسى المفرط .. . تبتسم وتمضي دونما إكتراث ! ↗
