OUT OF PRINT:
“Where should we go after
the last border? Where should birds fly after the last sky?
Where should plants sleep after the last breath of air?
We write our names with crimson mist!
We end the hymn of our flesh.
Here we will die. Here, in the last passage.
Here or there, our blood will plant olive trees.”
-Mahmud Darwish-
