WITH LOVE, FROM REVOLUTION
by Hanaa Ibrahim
The brief moment between daydreaming and revolution
is called love
i built a house there
and got lost wandering
Chet Baker played in the background
(and in between, i yearned for a mouthful of your love)
i revolted
rebelled
reclaimed the skin where your hands caressed my chest
so that in between daydreaming and love
could become a revolution
i saw the sun
a garden grew
sea glass
and sand
(and in between, i marched for a palmful of your love)
i sang a song
kissed a friend on the cheek
danced to Chet Baker this time
learned how in between love and revolution
was inevitable daydreaming
was a free Palestine
was you
(and in between, i looked out my window and wrote a poem heartful of your love)
i wake at dawn
with guns and roses under my pillow
and eyes wide open
ready to fi(love)gh(daydream)t
WARFARE
