HAMDI MEÇA

 

Perceiving Abstract Art

 

Hot War

Dead burning

Cold War

Living, letting out smoke

 

Hot War

Cold War

Leaving shells behind

Deliberately killing, axing

And blinding innocents

 

Crippled children, chopped childhood

Striking the daily path of destiny

With two tightly closed fists, those two stubs

None of them is a hermit

The expected and the unexpected –

The next exhibition of abstract art

An art confined in geographic

Rather than geometric frames

Postmodernism

 

Using, exhibiting and conceiving mutilated shapes

From going through extreme pains

For what is concrete

 

Homeland’s Architecture

 

Cells are the first borders of this world

Cells are its last borders

Others deriving from others

Then what is Homeland?

Homeland is but a ceaseless building process

Do you want me to tell you the secret?

Forty-day old cells

Forty-year-old cells

Four-hundred-year-old cells

Four-thousand-year-old cells

Four-million-year-old cells

Human cells that have become soil and stone

Only these cells suffice to build Homeland

At lust

You must realize why God created man

From mud and

His own breath

 

Prometheus’ Liver

 

With a name coming from Olympus she symbolizes family

Yes, it is Hestia herself

Hestia gives him a deep kiss before his arrest

He touches her kiss on his lips with his hand

“The woman’s arched mirror,” he thought to himself

He, the poet

The head’s hair, his poetry title

 

Even the spaces separating the prison bars

Seemed to him

Women’s arched mirrors

None of them was an optic vision

“The man’s watching eye”, the prisoner’s contact

With the missing woman

“The blind man’s eye”, the yearning mercury

Conquering losing nights and crouching days

The crossed prison bars seemed to him

The prisoner’s arithmetic notebooks

Containing the numbers of Hestia’s visits

Witten with intertwined shadows instead of ink

Upon each visit, Hestia gave him flaming embers

Pouring from under her eye’s ashes

And left after spending the assigned minutes with him

 

She is still waiting for him at her eyes’ windows

Feeding him on her soul’s fires

Kissing him on his forehead as if she were bidding him the last farewell

He is still guarding those flaming embers

Already poured from under her eye’s ashes

In his liver’s land

Blowing at them, keeping them alive

Blowing at them unceasingly, just blowing at them

As a prisoner locked inside

Our century
