Jawad Zainy
How is this wall spiting me? He is a
slyer, exerts deadlock in my attendance, and pretends that he has no life, but
I'm hearing his dim intermittent breaths. I know certainly that he has a
slender hearing, sharp sight and fluent tongue in spite of pretension of muteness.
He still insist on ignorance my daily talk with him. Whenever I draw my lonely sad
face, he smiles. The aging features of my father picture- which is fixed lonely
on it- are changing every day, until my father backs as a young face .I know certainly
that my father was dead, but this wall is still deceiving me with the pulse!
