# القصيدة #

Some words are hard to pronounce
He-li-cop-ter is most vexing

(A-pa-che or Co-bra is impossible)

But how it can stand still in the sky
I cannot understand
What holds it up
What bears its weight
(Not clouds, I know)
It sends a flashing light ----- so smooth
It makes a deafening sound
The house shakes
(There are holes in the wall by my bed)
Flash-boom-light-sound
And I have a hard time sleeping
(I felt ashamed when I wet my bed, But no one scolded me)

Plane ---- a ward much easier to say

It flies, tayyara

My mother told me
A word must have a meaning
A name must have a meaning
Like mine
(Hadeel, the cooing of the dove)
Tanks, though, make a different sound

They shudder when they shoot

Dabbabeh is a heavy word

As heavy as its meaning

Hadeel --- the dove --- she coos

Tayyara --- she flies
Dabbabeh --- she crawls

My mother --- she cries

And cries and cries

My brother --- Rami --- he lies
DEAD
And lies and lies, his eyes
CLOSED

Hit by a bullet in the head
bullet is a female lead --- rasasa --- she kills)
(my pencil is a male lead --- rasas --- he writes
?What's the different between a shell and a bullet
What's five-hundred-milli-meter- or eight-hundred-milli-meter-?shell-
Numbers are more vexing than words

I count to ten, then ten-and-one, ten-and-two
But what happens after ten-and-ten

?How should I know
Rami, my brother, was one

Of hundreds killed

They say thousands are hurt
But which is more

A hundred or a thousand --- miyyeh or alf

I cannot tell

So big --- so large --- so huge

Too many, too much

Palestine --- Falasteen --- I'm used to

It's not so hard to say

It means we're here --- to stay

Even though the place is hard

On kids and mothers too
For soldiers shoot

And airplanes shell
And tanks boom
And tear gas makes you cry

(Though I don't think it's tear gas that makes my mother cry)
I'd better go and hug her

Sit in her lap a while
(Touch her face (my fingers wet
Look in her eyes

Until I see myself again

A girl within her mother's sight

If words have meaning, Mama

?What is Is-ra-el

What does a word mean
if it is mixed

with another

If all soldiers, tanks, planes and guns are
Is-ra-el-i

What are they doing here

In a place I know

(In a word I know --- (Palestine
?In a life that I no longer know

أرجوا أن تنال إعجابكمـ

مع تحياتي
