ما معنى أن أستمر فى هذه الحياة الكذبة؟..من أكون..و لم لا أنزل الاّن فى جوف النهر.أرقب من قلب الماء بطون ذلك البجع الأبيض الرجراجة وأصلى أن يحملنى التيار بعيدا جدا,بعيدا عن البجع وعن البط و عن الأشجار والجبال وعن البشر -- بعيدا ألى فجوة مدفونة وسط الصخور أندس فيها و أنزوى ثم تغمرنى الطحالب والنباتات والقواقع و الأسماك وتخفينى إلى الأبد؟
لو أنى فقط أتلاشى
لو أنى فقط أتلاشى
