Not a Star

by Adonis

Neither a star,

nor a prophet’s inspiration,

nor a face praying to the moon, is Mihyar.

Here he comes

like a pagan spear,

invading the land of letters,

bleeding

and raising to the sun

his bleeding.

Here he is,

wearing the nakedness of stone

and praying to the caves.

Here he is,

cuddling the light Earth.
