our minds
are exquisite things,
but they
can be treasonous engines
working
against themselves
working
against our intentions
sometimes
we watch them & just let it happen.
we’ve had
enough being amused
being
held by our amusements
the sin
isn’t in being used, but
not
living life so it can use us
yes, we’re
all going home
home to
wherever we all are
yes, we’re
all going home.
i’m
taking my love with me
up to the
tabletop mountain
from
where all our world can be seen
and all
the worlds circling around us
yes, we’re
all going home.
sivas-ankara yolu azapli bir yoldur
blues for
mahmoud darwish (30 May 2010)
how do
you make peace with the madman
that’s
living in your house?
breaking
all the dishes while you sleep,
and you
can’t kick him out.
you can’t
wash the sea or the orchards
or even
save your horse.
how do
you make peace if when you ask him
it only
gets much worse?
it always
gets much worse.
when’s
the day of judgment coming when
will the
judges be the judged?
they say
they’ve made this green, but verdancy
was
fertilized in blood.
you ask
the tribe to recognize
that as a
tribe we’re one. nazim says:
build
your palace on the ground
but look
at what they’ve done.
look at
what they’ve done.
any day
now it will come down,
the time
has passed for waiting, throwing rocks.
hunger
doesn’t go away
when you
see ships are waiting on the docks.
it
doesn’t take a reckoning of spirits
for the
water to avenge.
the
madman has gone outside the house
and we
won’t ever let him in. never again.
