shortlist of people who can read this poem out loud:
and it’s
really
especially short
because
actually
it is
just you
with your blunt teeth
& velvet mouth—
sweet tender mouth,
like that of
a golden retriever
on the internet,
who can be given an egg
and trusted
to keep it safe
crying as i’m translating, a mother says about her martyred children:
“you’re the ones who survived, not me. I remained in the most terrifying vile world which deprived me of you in a moment of betrayal. I swear I am satisfied with Allah’s fate.. (1/4)
ik it prolly wasn’t intended for this purpose. but i immediately thought of how important it now is to really honor and cherish Palestinian culture. The reality of genocide is losing the people and experiences the culture belongs to.

I just remembered that a girl is not the opposite of anything.
Tonight I stack fears like stones while the stars buzz.
Inside the lion, the lamb lays down, closes her eyes.
It has been a long day, and she is warm in these wet walls.
