Multiple Me
with people & memories I hold a special place in heart
My flag takes sides
with no fraternal pact.
It flutters alone,
my songs a faction in themselves.
​
Here I am mobilizing the flowers, enlisting the trees.
The sky I redesign in colonnades.
I experience love. I live. I'm born into words.
​
Here I am rounding up butterflies
under the auspices of morning.
​
I nurture the fruits.
We go home for the night, the rain and I,
home in the clouds with their bells, home in the sea.
​
Here I am launching the stars and fastening them down,
proclaiming myself king over the winds.
—— Adonis أدونيس
