Fatiha Morchid is a Moroccan poet and novelist. She is the winner of the 2010 Moroccan Poetry Award. A pediatrician by profession she has Prepared and presented a health care education program for years on the Moroccan TV channel 2M, along with a poetry show. She received her doctorate in medicine in 1985 and has specialized in podiatry since 1990. Unlike most Moroccan poets, who generally came to poetry from the academic study of literature, Fatiha Morchid came to poetry from science, which is perhaps why she seems free from a certain tendency to conform to academic poetic norms, or to indulge in obscurity and experimentation.
Do not say “absence tastes like madness”
Close your eyes
Wherever you are
You will find me . . .
Immovable as the sea
Wandering about
In the ebb and flow
Never absent.
In the poem "Absence" by Fatiha Morchid, the speaker dismisses the notion that absence feels like madness. Instead, they invite the reader to close their eyes and realize that no matter where they are, the speaker will always be present. The speaker likens themselves to something steadfast and unchanging, like the immovable sea, and they are continuously moving and wandering in the ebb and flow of life. In essence, the poem conveys the idea that true connection and presence transcend physical distance and that the speaker's essence remains with the reader, never absent.
