•• همسَت في جدار قلبي ذكرى شيء من أيام العمر.. تذكرت أصدقاء أضاؤوا الكون أريحية وسعادة.. كنا مراهقين متناقضين؛ نفكر في كل شيء، ولا نفكر في أي شيء.. استغرق تفكيري بابتسامة ناضحة في ذلك الشقي المتشظي.. كان يعذب أوتار مشاعرنا (بقفشاته) كسنَّان يشحذ السكاكين.. كان يغرس أشواكه المدببة على من يرى فيه نقطة ضعف.. ومع ذلك؛ كان غيابه مؤثراً، وحضوره مبهجاً.
•• مشربية هذا الصديق المتفائل مصنوعة من حكايات تجمع القلوب وتقرّب المسافات.. مثل هذا يملك الكون دون وجل، ويكلم الدنيا دون خوف.. يتميّز بابتكار مُعْجِب وخيال مُبدع، يختار لنفسه ولغيره أزهى أنواع الانبساط والسرور.. تصدِّقه القلوب بتسامح وود وحب، وتعطيه الأذان الإصغاء ولا تدري.. يكتب مع الآخرين قصة مشتركة مُشبعة صالحة للنشر.. ذكراه يترك فراغاً لا يمكن نكرانه أو التنكر له.
•• وعكسه تماماً؛ تمثال بشري تكوينه جنائزي.. أيامه متشابهة، وقلبه عرِج، وروحه متأوهة.. هواجسه مريرة وأحلامه محطمة.. لا يستطيع القيام من كبوته إلا بصعوبة.. سحابة كآبة سوداء تملأ صدره، واصفرار يعلو وجهه.. يُمرض نفسه بنفسه بجحيم دائم تصنعه يديه.. يتصحر كل يوم فيبتعد عن قائمة الشرف البشرية.. تلك فئة غنية في وصف الألم، فقيرة في وصف النِعم، فاختارت لنفسها متى تموت.
•• كل واحد من هؤلاء يكتب حياته بلغة ميتة، ويقرؤها (بولدنة) ودعم المتحذلقين.. يزركش دنياه بالأنين فيحوّلها إلى هوس لا تنته فصوله.. فنون نحت ذاته تتسبب في عطب جهازه التعبيري.. أنَّات يطلقها بلغة صدئة بالغة البلادة في مشاهد صيرورتها لا نهائية.. أهات لا تهرم فيتحول إلى أنقاض غير نضرة لا ينبت فيها عشب.. أيها النسَّاج الأعمى أفق وإلا سيفلت منك الخيط.
التماثيل البشرية.. بين العَرج والتأوّه:
هناك، من يجمع القلوب ويقرّب المسافات
وعكسه، تماثيل بشرية بهواجس مريرة
وهناك؛ المتميّز بابتكار مُعْجِب وخيال مُبدع
وعكسه؛ المُتقن لفنون نحت الذات والأنين

•• A memory whispered in the wall of my heart, a fragment of the days of life.. I remembered friends who illuminated the universe with generosity and happiness.. We were contradictory teenagers; we thought about everything, yet thought about nothing.. My thoughts lingered on that fragmented wretch with a radiant smile.. He tortured the strings of our emotions with his quips like a sharpener honing knives.. He would plant his pointed thorns on anyone he saw as weak.. Yet, his absence was impactful, and his presence delightful.
•• The mashrabiya of this optimistic friend is made of tales that unite hearts and bridge distances.. Such a person possesses the universe without hesitation and speaks to the world without fear.. He is distinguished by an admirable creativity and an imaginative mind, choosing for himself and others the brightest forms of joy and happiness.. Hearts believe him with forgiveness, affection, and love, and ears lend him their attention unknowingly.. He writes with others a shared story rich enough for publication.. His memory leaves a void that cannot be denied or ignored.
•• In stark contrast; a human statue with a funerary composition.. His days are similar, his heart is limping, and his soul is groaning.. His anxieties are bitter and his dreams shattered.. He can rise from his fall only with great difficulty.. A black cloud of gloom fills his chest, and a pallor covers his face.. He makes himself ill with a perpetual hell crafted by his own hands.. He desiccates every day, distancing himself from the list of human honor.. This is a category rich in describing pain, yet poor in describing blessings, thus choosing for itself when to die.
•• Each of these writes his life in a dead language, reading it with a pretentiousness supported by the pedants.. He decorates his world with moans, turning it into an obsession with endless chapters.. The arts of self-sculpting lead to the malfunction of his expressive apparatus.. Groans escape him in a rusty language, painfully dull in its scenes of infinite becoming.. Sighs that do not age, turning into lifeless ruins where no grass grows.. O blind weaver, awaken, or the thread will slip from your grasp.
Human statues.. Between limping and groaning:
There are those who gather hearts and bridge distances
And in contrast, human statues with bitter anxieties
And there; the distinguished one with admirable creativity and an imaginative mind
And in contrast; the master of the arts of self-sculpting and moaning
