وصلتني رسالة يوم الأربعاء
مصحوبة بعنوانٍ على ظهرها.
الخامسة مساءً، اليوم
خطّ كتابة الدعوة –
متحفّظ وجاف –
رأيته خمس مرّات في خمس سنوات.
جسدي مُستنفَر،
محموم.
أحتاج لمضاجعة نفسي أوّلًا.
المدُّ عالٍ الليلة
وأنا
أنتشي.
أريدُ إبطاءَ كلَّ شيء،
واستطعام الوقت والفراغ،
أن أحفرهما
في الذاكرة.
*
لم آتِ أبدًا إلى هذا الجزء من البلدة.
الأماكن المجهولة تثيرني،
[كذلك] الطريقة التي تقاوم بها الأشلاء والعروق والعظام
الاضمحلال،
مصيرهم غامض.
عند الباب أعيدُ التفكير.
الرواق قاتم السواد
يجعلني أتوقّف.
على الناحية الأخرى،
مثل اللعنة، يُفتَح باب
من الروائح والألوان
على عَصْرٍ مُشمس.
النسيم
يجعل شعري يرقص،
يثير فضوله،
يدفعه للحركة.
أسمعُ أزيزَ الكرسي المتحرّك،
يشكّل الظلال.
عندها أراهم:
وجه فهد
وجسدٌ مثل جسدي
وأجِدني راغبة بكليهما
مرّة أخرى.
يقترب المخلوق منّي.
إيماءاتهم تكتب جملة؛
كلّما اقتربت منهم،
أتبيّن تفاصيلها:
ذبول، لحم، غِبطة
بأمر ٍمنهم، تزحف الكرمة
التي تغطّي الرُواق
مُعانقةً الصخور الدافئة
وتتسلّق الحائط كالأفعى.
لقد أصبح فعلًا،
«أن تقفز»،
أُعيدَ توجيهي عندما أشارت مخالبهم
نحو سرير الكرم في المنتصف.
أسمع العجلات خلفي،
ثم أسمع ذلك الصوت.
يُدوي
بشكلٍ لا مثيل له.
أجنحتهم الطويلة السوداء
ترتفع نحو السقف
ثم تندفع للأمام.
عينا الهرّة تفحص كلّ تفصيلة،
كلّ تغيّر،
كلّ تَوق.
هل يمكن أن تُذيب الرغبة عضلاتك؟
هل يمكن أن تكون أحلى من أقوى المهدّئات؟
فهدٌ يخيط العالم،
عبرَ اختلافاتنا،
غازلًا الدانتيل حول ركبتيَّ.
هل يمكن للرغبة أن تسحق تباعُد العالم،
أن تكثّف الثواني؟
مازالوا يقتربون،
تلتقي عين الفهد بعين الإنسان،
تتنشّق الهواء،
تُحوِّل الجسد إلى
إلحاح.
يخفقون بأجنحتهم للأسفل.
هائجة،
تلتفّ الكرمة حول خصري/ خسارتي.
لسانهم يرقّق الوقت،
تتبدّل الآراء،
يُسكِّن، بسحرهم،
ما يشتعل أسفل [السطح].
أرى العالم فيك، والعالم مُنهَك.
ثم يتوسّلون:
دعيني أقتات عليك.

Seismic shifts: A year of completion, transition and reflection | Annual report 2017
The past five years have been huge for AWID.
We have contributed to some major victories, like expanding the women’s rights funding landscape with ground-breaking, far-reaching research and advocacy. At the same time, we have experienced some devastating setbacks, including the assassination of Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) like Berta Cacares of Honduras, Gauri Lankesh of India and Marielle Franco of Brazil, as well as the rise of anti-rights mobilizing in human rights spaces.
Five years ago, we committed to our movement-building role by producing knowledge on anti-rights movement trends, as well as on issues that feminists often engage with less, like illicit financial flows. We advocated side by side with our movement partners, strengthening young feminist and inter-generational activism, and expanding the holistic protection of WHRDs. As we close out the strategic plan, we are proud of our accomplishments and our growth as an organization. We end 2017 with renewed commitment, insights and learning for the continued struggle ahead!
