Camp X-ray

Marah Bukai
2008 / 7 / 8

In a legal black hole
Heavily guarded
By nightmares and mosses
You have detained my fins.

From the rootless anxiety
To the premeditated tunnel
Of segregation,
You dragged me all along.

You hijacked my precious moments
From a cloud of grace
To the battlefield of uncertainty:
I, the non-combatant…

Abandoned to the grave
Of sameness,
No charge
But blind loyalty
To your blood,
I crawled
With a bare chest
Over the burning rocks
Of your sinful agony.

You must face it
Loud and lucid
To be heard at last
By all thirsty hyenas:

You were violating
My right
To a fair duel!

Kneeling before you
Shackled,
Bound,
Masked,
And blindfolded

For years to come,
You will be haunted
By the heavy shadow
Of our relentless fiasco.

Each of us,
Faces looking towards
The pale blue wall
Where the bones
Of the last female whale
Roamed the waves
Towards the shores
Of isolation…

Hence,
You confine yourself
Across the fantasy of denial,
I confine myself
To the blossoms of oblivion.
