نادتني صخرة..
طردها ألبير كامي
من حديقته العبثية..
ابتسم حصاني ..
تطاير شرر من حوافره
ذرف أغنية حلوة..
سألتني بمرارة..
تبدو قلقة ومستاءة ..
- أرأيت سيزيف?
- في قلعة يحكمها نسران عجوزان..
- يقاتل وحوشا ضارية
تطلع من تلة كتفيه..
-أله بيت ومريدون ?
له حصن في هاوية..
- أصدقاء كثر ضلوا في جبل ماورائي..
له كلب عالق في شرك النوم ..
باسطا ذراعيه بالوصيد..

Sisyphus in prison
By Fathi Muhadub – Tunisia
Translation from Arabic Dr. Yousef Hanna
.........
A rock called me ..
Albert Cammy expelled her
From his absurd garden ..
My horse smiled.
Sparks blew from his hooves
Shed a sweet song ..
She asked me bitterly
She looks worried and upset.
- Have you seen Sisyphus?
- In a castle ruled by two elderly eagles ..
- Fights fierce monsters
- Kicks off from the hill of his shoulders.
- Has he a household and disciples?
He has a fortress in an abyss ..
- Many friends have strayed on extramundane mountain ...
He has a dog trapped in sleep,
Stretching out his arms at the entrance sill.
