Algeria Poem
By P.A. Noushad
I can see Algers,
Santa Cruz Castle,
M’zab, and the Atlas Mountains when I visit your country
under the splendour of your
wings…..
Call me, please…
Kateb Yacine, Frantz Fanon,
Assia Djebar, and Ahlam Mosteghanemi,
among others, sprout in the
bosoms of the fingers like literary petals. Dew is attracted by beautiful
images to the depths of their hearts, and take them. Claps and laughter are heard while the football is flying around during
exciting moments….
Redouane Cherifi, Rais M’Bolhi,
Youcef Khelifi and Carl Medjani
beckon me to visit you once
more, and my heart once more
begs me
to do it before I pass away…
