I Turn the Page

Dance with butterflies. I turn the page.
A magician comes. I turn the page.
I carry a corpse. I turn the page.
With horns made of gold. I turn the page.
Enchanted darkness. I turn the page.
Camel and the mirage. I turn the page.
Above me. I turn the page.
The moon hides and I turn the page.
You are far away from me. I turn the page.




Note: The process used for writing this poem is: randomly turn a page, count three lines and use words from the fourth line. Add "I turn the page"
Book used: Love, Death and Exile: Poems Translated from Arabic by Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati. Translated by: Bassam K. Frangieh.
