Rodaan Al Galidi’s Miracle Egg

I Want to Lie Beside You
In one year

Beautiful dream

Rodaan Al Galidi’s Miracle Egg
Attempt to Leave
Still Alive

I dreamt I was a cow.
In the dream I put on lipstick
and looked in the mirror,
seeing for the first time how beautiful I was.
‘Shame that all this beauty
is only for the bull’, whispered the mirror.
I came out of the stall
ate the ground for hours
and when night fell
I gave whole milk
instead of skim tears.
