Hamra Night by Saadi Youssef A candle in a long street A candle in the sleep of houses A candle for frightened shops A candle for bakeries A candle for a journalist trembling in an empty office A candle for a fighter A candle for a woman doctor over patients A candle for the wounded A candle for plain talk A candle for the stairs A candle for a hotel packed with refugees A candle for a singer A candle for broadcasters in their hideouts A candle for a bottle of water A candle for the air A candle for two lovers in a naked flat A candle for the falling sky A candle for the beginning A candle for the ending A candle for the last communiqué A candle for conscience A candle in my hand. -------------------------------- Saadi Youssef (first published in Modern Poetry of the Arab World' translated, and edited by Abdullah Al- Penguin'1986)
