kado

on the train back from sousse to tunis

a guy sat next to me

and we talked in the worst way

with my nothing french

and his nothing english

we talked about the islamic party

then he said facebook?

and i said yes

and wrote my name down

then he handed me his lighter

"kado"

i demonstrated with my hands

that i can't fly with the lighter

okay

then we arrived to tunis

je suis ravi du parlouz avec toi

i was confused

and he motioned that he is going

he shook my hand

bye

and i got it and he smiled

and that smile

had something in it

the mix of bye

and that smile

i walked out of the train station

onto the street

i was the only tourist on the train

in the station

i walked out 

hoping i would find a taxi

and looking for him

the boy

just because that smile

radiated me

but he was nowhere

and i walked out the door

of the station

all the bustle of people and cars

in the night

"maryam"

and before me was him

"kado"

it was a leather bracelet
