It Was Supposed

It Was Supposed

Poem: Hana al-Qadhi

Translation : Freeyad Ibrahim


**
They were supposed to be together at the end of the road

sipping the morning’s coffee

While the snow was covering the crossroads of the age

leaving

the warmth of the heart’s stoves

They were supposed to be together in the middle of the road

contemplating

what has passed and what has remained of their time

They were supposed not to leave the swarm

But one of them went to the east

And the other chose the west

They were together in the beginning of the road

And their morns were full of love for roses

But something has haunted the souls

something other than hearts

So that they both lost the road
