Enough for Me
Enough for me to die on her earth
Be buried in her
To melt and vanish into her soil
Then sprout forth as a flower
Played with by a child from my country.
Enough for me to remain
In my country's embrace
To be in her close as a handful of dust
A spring of grass
A flower.
-- Fadwa Tuqan

WRITING IS ALSO A FORM OF PROTEST!
