Tattoo from Hell

Author: Mahmoud Youssef Futeim

(Darkness where one sees and hears letters and words. Corners are lit in black, and dust makes them clearer. A wall filled horizontally and vertically with lines the size of an index finger, and dots above and below them, and numbers with lines above them, and a sentence erased by time that says: A BANNER WHOSE WHITENESS IS THE REDNESS OF TIME, ANKEESI. And a wall dominated by circles and shapes, containing words, ornaments, verses from the Quran, and four names: - Humra'il, - Musma'il, - Far'ari'il, - Humarmika Kaa'il. And a wall on which a yellow thread is hung, and a silk thread, and a cage containing a two-combed rooster asleep, and a yellow bird swaying, above its head and a nail in the wall, on which some incense and saffron are hung, beneath them a raw shard, above it a ring and a seal, and next to it a pot; containing fire ash and wax statues as if they were small people whose eyes had burst, and they perished. And on the ground - in front of the pot -, glass with musk, and another with rose water, and leather, whose engraving only shows: ... AND MAKE OUR ENEMY DEAF AND MUTE, THEN BLIND HIM AND SILENCE HIM, O POSSESSOR OF MAJESTY.... Then, three skulls and bones of only two bodies.)
