exile

He said what terrified him

most was intimacy.

The sidewalks muddled by rain.

 

His mother and father were not

here in Paris.

So I comforted him with rain.

 

Anyway, he was glad to be

far from them.

We walked deeper into the rain.

 

I remember when the police

called his home.

Did it rain that day in Beirut?


Come get your

son the faggot

The rain threw itself into the sea.

 

Nights came in jail, but no father came

to save him.

His mother was the rain.

 

Beirut gives you everything but the

price is expensive.

Paris just gives you rain.

 

The bus driver did not see

our wet shoes.

The rain would not let go of the window.
