INSIGHT: Imagined Future
Sound and Fury Ahmed Tabbakh “All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers. “ — Francois Fenelon A cinture Waiting off the shore on a rock Wanting to be seen Neglecting where it is Looking where we stand Each of us marked with the tonsure Of our times and places No names or faces Just numbers and numbers Not members of cultures Just people or vultures Standing still like sculptures But how to bound By what means? The keystone stands away Hidden, yet clear as day
Ahmed Tabbakh is a NY-based writer who enjoys both poetry and prose. Writing from the age of 8, Tabbakh has learned to write as well as he can. He hopes to publish his first novel soon. 34 | www.fokus.org
