No land on this earth carries me

So my speech carries me

Mahmoud Darwish   

 

I do not speak of olive trees and the smell of gunpowder.

 

My exile is one of peace,

the crash of the Arabian sea. The crescendo of the adhan,

the steam of a stone oven. A mother’s soothing hum,

a father’s provision. 

 

My exile is one of exclusion,

the unfamiliar turn of a dialect. 

An airport returned to,

a line for foreigners.

 

My exile is one of choice,

a clipping of a job advertisement,

the promise of a home.

 

My exile is a poem, 

a land of its own.
