future nothing but a twin of the past.

poem166: nobody but you...

one warm April evening the sun went down early the seas swept away the castles built for dreams to live in the waves returned, hurried and eager in the wet sands they dug deeper as if something precious was lost but they returned without their castles to peek into without those walls to protect life was like that one day, you had everything and by the evefall, everyone had left the…

A beloved poet, teacher and life-long activist for Palestine, he was recently assassinated along with members of his extended family by a targeted Israeli air strike. His loss leaves a hole in the heart of palestinians all over the world.

Below the cut, I’ll be posting the translations of his poem, with links to the original posts. Unfortunately, tumblr limits posts to a maximum of 30 images. I will update when I can.

They search around my veins

where she resides, sleeps and breaths.

they lead towards the beating fountain of blood

in my chest –

that’s where I give her food, water

and where she grows together with him

and with them, so do I.

- from Failed Exorcism, Ezra Rubin
