«أما نور فكان يجلس في مقابلتها في القاعة، ينظر إليها بإعجاب، ولا يحرك عينيه عنها، ولا يشغله أيٌّ من الطقوس المقامة. كان يراها لأول مرَّة بردائها الأخضر، متألقة وسعيدة، تتمايل بجسدها الضئيل مع الأغنيات في رقة وهدوء، وكلما تمايلت تمايل قلبه معها يمينًا ويسارًا، إلى أن تمايلت مرَّة وسقط عنها شالها الحريري الأبيض المطرز بخيوط الفضة اللامعة. لم تشعر روح بسقوط الشال، كانت منسجمة تمامًا مع الموسيقى والأغاني، وتصفق بإيقاع خاص بها وحدها كأنها في عالم آخر. اقترب نور منها والتقط شالها الأبيض من الأرض…»

عندما تقلب في أوراقك القديمة تجد الكثير من الهراء.. لكنك كذلك تجد بقايا أفكار ولمحات من خواطر فيها بعض اللحم.. عندما يخطر لك أن هذه القصاصات تصلح لشئ ما..
هل تصلح لقصة؟.. إنها أقصر من اللازم ولم تكتمل بعد.. يبدو الأمر كمن يجد مقبضاً صدناً فيبني قصراً كاملاً ليثبت هذا المقبض على أحد أبوابه..
هل تصلح لمقال؟.. ربما.. لكن عن أي شئ..
هل تصلح لقصيدة؟.. بالطبع لا.. نسيت أنك هجرت الشعر منذ عشرين عاماً، وصارت القوافي بين يديك كالصخر الأصم لا يلين، ولا تأمل في أن يلين..
هل تصلح لبعثرتها كحوار على شفاه أبطالك؟.. أسوأ القصص طرأ هي التي تكتبها كي تضع فيها شيئاً لم تجد له مكاناُ آخر.. إنها تكون الافتعال بعينه..
هل تصلح للحرق؟
بالتأكيد.. لهذا خلقت ولهذا وجدت..
