burn the ship

fuck the capital

call me soon

will they watch us vanishing one after the other

how are you

do you hear me

I am remembering

to eat

to guard my stubbornness

to renew my list of goodbyes

to adorn the bruises

Im a thick body

a mortal form

beloved and destroyed

gentle and untamable

after all

I sleep in rage or lament

or in places they did not include in dictionaries yet

my bedroom changes structure each night

you know my sleep don't you?

did you study the theory of tides

did you know oceans can pour out of my eye

there is so much fucking noise outside

you know my eyes don't you?

in Jenin

the colonizer is preventing our people

from burying the martyrs

preventing our people from burying

the martyrs

burying the martyrs

do you hear me

you call

I hurry to collect parts of myself of my land of myself

we knit for each other words

I tell you but I do not tell it all

and I promise to come

but I do not promise to come whole

Im a thick body

a mortal form

beloved and destroyed

gentle and untamable

after all

and I promise to come

and I do not promise to come whole.
