A Corner
by. Salha Obaid Ghabish
I escape to a corner of this world
I accompany with me my most beautiful things
So that I do not remain alone
In that corner
I construct a little house
That fits only me
I arrange a room for writing
And a room for drinking tea with my shadow
And another room to receive the ghosts of my girl friends
And another room to finish in it
Sculpturing my awaiting dreams
I retrieve myself from that corner
Every time I imagine
That a dream has materialized for me
And knocked on my door.
