| Paratext Text | translated from the French of Venus Khoury Ghata |
| Notes | The poem describes a male storyteller whose words are transcribed by his audience opening up questions regarding class, gender, and art. As a translation from Venus Khoury-Ghata's work, the poem also frames themes of authority and oppression within the context of Lebanon's troubled history of French colonisation and civil war. |
