My town... to a spot, a skeleton of a building forgotten by the people and forgotten by time. &lt;br /&gt;I don’t remember how or when, but without deliberation I found myself there on the first floor. A space with the least possible amount of structure that could very easily be mistaken for being a draftsman rough sketch on a drawing board.&lt;br /&gt;Below, white earth all around and an old narrow road, secretly  snaked down to the horizon separating us from the final resting places of the dead, little chambers like a hamlet for dwarfs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...The car was parked on the northern side exactly beneath where I stood slanted and stiff as if I was one of the concrete beams with the eyes of a 13 year old boy filled with horror as I watched through the car’s sunroof and the front windshield, a man and a woman fondling each other. His hands, one through her unbuttoned top full of her exposed and glistening breast and one hand stretched deep in the darkest abyss of her vast region. Her hands, one wrapped around the back of his head almost swallowed by his thick bushy hair and one hand reluctantly feeling and pressing on his penis... Locked in a kiss their heads moved like a choreographed dance for robots.&lt;br /&gt;Unlike you abufares, I could not hear anything in that shattering silence but the throbbing of my heart rippling through every vain in my body.&lt;br /&gt;The captured moment was like a scene from a surreal silent movie without the accompaniment of the circus music. I never really saw their faces and I never saw them again. I very often went back to that very same spot where sometimes I’d sit and wait hoping that they might come back... sometimes I’d while the hours away listening to the dead across the road snoring in the comfort of their pine crates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26866567/1711727227524489081/comments/default/5401313801291529687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26866567/1711727227524489081/comments/default/5401313801291529687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.abufares.net/2009/07/dinghy.html?showComment=1247616528404#c5401313801291529687' title=''/><author><name>JGM</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07006985362873821979</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.abufares.net/2009/07/dinghy.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1711727227524489081' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26866567/posts/default/1711727227524489081' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-8688432232011373342</id><published>2009-07-14T20:12:41.431+03:00</published><updated>2009-07-14T20:12:41.431+03:00</updated><title type='text'>@w.b. yeats
