Untitled: A Nano Story by Ali Znaidi
The thick snow looks like mayonnaise. Swallowing the pedestrians’ feet,
it becomes a frigid cannibal. But, what a carnival!

Euphoria: A Nano Story by Ali Znaidi
She would prefer not to plan splendid things because she is living in a
garden of marvels right now.

Tunisian Desert by Ali Znaidi
Tunisian Desert
Sand soaked
in sleek satin.
Touching it
resembles
kissing
the soft
cheek
of a blonde.
Kissing it—
a paradise
unraveled/
Satan
expelled.

Stones cling to mud.

Three Short Poems by Ali Znaidi
The Shape of
Inexistence
When
the night comes
existence
takes the shape
of
inexistence for those
who
have no home
but
the streets’ laps,
for
those who queue,
as usual,
waiting
for new sorrows,
& above all,
for
those whose morning
is
not yet to come.

3
feathers of a crow
shine through
the empty shot glass.
—A (jailed) triptych.

Platonic Forms
I loved the shadows
of candles in the dark,
& I suppose
this love still persists
but in platonic forms.
