hello all,
hello Philip and Lily
hey guys I had to do a research for a lecture on the Islamic Philosophy [ with a friend of mine]for the last 2 weeks and that took up all my time , beside a full-time job...
Now I was trying to answer an email, I happen to write the following text. Here I share it with you in its first stages of life / death


crazy how words desert us
when we need them most.

i feel disarmed and empty
nothing to say
nothing to think
just void

i am not the words
when i can't be the speaker
and I am not a speaker
when I have no words

silence envelops the
most miserable
absence in me

Anything left
for me to say?
_______
khalifa
