When I Return From War

/, Blesok no. 98/When I Return From War

When I Return From War

When I Return From War
Try This, Dear Wagner
My People
Ghetto
A Little Man in a Little Town
Morning in Mahallah
People"s Revolution Boulevard
About a Certain Faraway War

Nothing there except for a big City Lights ad and
a few automobiles and it’s always raining
or at least it appears like that
on the People’s Revolution Boulevard

The street of truth, the street of lies, the desert’s main street
with the remains of aunt Fatima’s apartment
and two rows of barren trees
on the People’s Revolution Boulevard

There are no addresses here for mail to arrive
no random passers-by
Nothing except that drizzle that kills everything
on the People’s Revolution Boulevard
