Wael Almahdi
Resentment
When the dream dies
you’re soaked with resentment
at every table.
A new kid
in an empty playground
at high noon.
No companion, no quarter
the crickets gloat.
Death has terrible manners
it never knocks.
A forever sunset.
The waves come on too strong, the wind a bit too forward.
We abandon the shell search.
