CHAINS (Hijra)
Sandbags fall with a thump on the grass
The chains strain at the pegs
The breeze beckons the world yonder
The friends and ghosts assemble to wave goodbye
Guilty looks to the romance and revolution
A half wave and one point five thought
The promise of a fickle God above
Deliverance from the army of the Pharoah
The first year of manna and salwa
A moment in time where reality wafted me away
And the dreams held their peace for a while
For a while.
Written to Goodbye to Romance by Ozzy Osbourne and Dammi Falastini by Mohammed Assaf
