Dunya Mikhail, tr. by Samira Kawar, from The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology; “Rain”

[Text ID: “I have returned to you / but I have not brought with me / the blueness of my soul / nor the greenness of reproach / nor the blackness of dawn / nor the whiteness of drowsiness / therefore, / have I not returned to you?”]

hello! for some reason, the thought of asking about web weaving prompts completely escaped me until now. you're the first I am asking! hello!!!

I don't see this sort of web weaving subject around, so is it possible to make one about an abandoned AI? (the fictional, sapient kind, not the ones irl lol)

like an AI, with a sapient mind, just..... alone. lost between the lines of code in cyberspace, wishing for someone like them to destroy their isolation

How can you mourn for something not living?

I hope this fills the prompt well! It was very interesting to do. I'm sorry it took so long! ;^^

And what will I do with all this loneliness?

Ho disegnato una porta e mi sono seduta dietro di lei pronta ad aprirla non appena arrivi.

Every day I adorn my soul, sprinkle it with water, so that one day it might experience peace.

Dunya Mikhail

Only one heart resides  in each person  but each is a train full of people  who die  when you kill  what you think is one.

"I would not have found this cracked jar if it weren’t for my loneliness, which sees gold in all that glitters."

Dunya Mikhail, The Iraqi Nights

[qui-se-languit-d-amour]

Yes, I did write in my letter that I would wait for you forever I didn’t mean exactly “forever” I just included it for the rhythm.

By Dunya Mikhail

Translated from Arabic by Elizabeth Ann Winslow

[lunamarish]

Ringrazio tutti coloro che non amo perché non mi fanno venire il mal di testa, non mi fanno scrivere lunghe lettere. Non agitano i miei sogni, non li attendo con ansia, non leggo i loro oroscopi sul giornale, non compongo il loro numero di telefono, non li penso. Li ringrazio molto perché non mi mettono in subbuglio la vita.

Dunya Mikhail
