أعيشُ بَينَ النارِ والطاعون
مَع لغتي، مع هذه العوالِمِ الخُرَساء
أعيشُ في حديقةِ التُفاحِ والسَماء
aeysh bayn alnar waltaaeun
mae lughati, mae hadhih alewalim alkhurasa'
aeysh fi hadiqah altufah walsama'
I live between fire and plague, With my language, with these worlds all mute, I live in apple-grove and sky
The earth is not a wound
but a body---
Can one travel between a wound and a body?
Can one reside?
Adonis, Adonis: Selected Poems
For me, animals represent the unknown. For example, one can't know, in the deepest sense of the word, a bird or a blue whale. Therefore, I can say that the animal is the symbol of all that is unknown, and this symbol is poetic because the unknown requires questioning. There is also the animal's form, which is almost Mallarméan, or the inverse. There is an infinite number of forms, and that too is poetic because each poem has its form, just as each animal has theirs. This infinity of forms is also a poetic aspect that connects me to the animal world. There is also animals' beauty, an extraordinary value and one that is essential in poetic terms. Finally, there is the notion of movement, as if there was a perpetual sense of going beyond or overcoming in the animal world.

Desert II by Adunis
In a time that confronts me, “You do not belong to me,” I retort back, “I’m not of you,” and struggle to understand it . . . I am now a hue, a silhouette displaced among its tasks, a puzzle camped inside a skull. Space is a shrinking horizon, a window trudging away and the day is threads that tear inside my lungs and ruffle the sky. A rock under my head. Everything I said about my life and its death repeats itself in silence. Do I contradict myself? That’s true. For I am now a shoot today and I was a harvest yesterday. And I am between water and fire and I am embers and roses and I am sun and shade and I am not a god. Do I contradict myself? That is certainly true... Closed is my house door and darkness is my mattress, a pale moon carrying a handful of light. My words failed to send my gratitude to him. He closed the door, not to chain his joys . . . but to release his grief. Everything will arrive, already old. Find another companion, not this madness. Groom yourself to remain as a stranger. The sun no longer rises: she sneaks past frightened then disappears, covering her feet with straw . . . I expect death to come at night, and to cushion a rose in his embrace I am tired of this dust that covers the brow of wonder. I am tired of people’s exhales.
