Poem 2. I dare you to translate the title
يا اخي اين انت
السلام الذي يتجاوز ال
(Ha Bhai Kaha Hona Apa,
Shantih, Shantih, Shantih)
When it spilled on Jerusalem’s streets: Blood
As we march for our flag to the drummer’s beats: Blood
From a mother’s schism streams
From the hands of the laboring craftsmen it weeps: Blood
When the weak are cut down,
It is the healer into whose bandage it seeps: Blood
As it pours from Ali’s nose
When his face and punch meet: Blood

A sacred promise that I keep: Blood
I put it into all that I sow
And so it is in all that I reap: Blood
Love is blood
And so it will be Julian until we meet: Blood
