Mirrors from the Sidewalk: Alymamah Rashed Addresses Her Latest Series

I see myself mirrored on the sidewalks

I see myself picking one date after another

I see myself gazing at the seventh sky

I see myself becoming you

I see myself departing from my heartbeat

I see myself returning to the eye in the sky

I see myself in the glisten of your halo

I see myself caressing all that is known to me

I see myself in repetition

I see myself in difference

I see myself above and below

I see the last glimpse of eternity

I close my eyes and return to the sweet earth

I open my eyes and come back to my breath

I swim in a water lilly pond

I rest in the valleys of Ankara

I become

I become to be

I become to be my beloved

I become to be this beloved life
