Palestina
Untitled exile poem
" . . . the prophets of palestine
now gather in cairo cafés
stargazing
dreaming
old men inhale life from bubbling argillas
they talk and talk;
who stole the past
from our wrinkled palms?
homeless, will we learn
to carry our houses on our
backs for our land is gone
and we still carry it in our heads . . ."
