A Poem (إلى نديم)
to a table fellow
by Blaise Webster
I act in the footsteps of my table fellow
a neighbor between me and between my God
a scale that weighs my fruit and its value
The father of the poet taught me how to perceive
between the naked deceiver and the coated innocent
I am a follower to be made upright
crucified in the death of the lean lamb
He who is God’s victory
