العراق

I just learned how to say 

 قهوة

 حبيبي

كتاب

 بلدي

Words drawn

as if caressing a river

from right to left.

As if time drifted backwards

along clay paths 

inherited,

translated,

from the soul of the same earth

that dreamt us all.

الكتابة من أعماق الأرض

I hope it's not too late

To bring these two together

Language/ لغة

Same root

Same leaf.
