Slowly, torturously
Cairo Eats the Soul
All-Abrasive
to eye, ear, smell, don't touch
Dust, exhaust, shouts, screams,
horns, harassment, tired pleas
Daily assaults, daily
high-defences
Invasions of lung and temper
I ask for kindness. I ask for
hope.
She ignores me, disappoints me
Continues her clamour
Hurtling towards her apparent goal:
Continues her clamour
Hurtling towards her apparent goal:
Destruction of the Human Soul.
