لو تدرون

لو تدرون
لو تدرون وما عرفتم
شوقاً
خلدثه الأيام
وصوتٌ
كتمه البحر والولهان
يبحث عنه
في كل زاوية في الأردض
في كل مكان

بين صفحات الأحلام
يتركلي
رسالة
صطورها ذهب
وعطرٌ
وعطرٌ
وعطر ألياسمين
يبوح
يبوح
يبوح باسمه
.....


L:-
If you know
if you know, but you never will
a yearning
immortalized by the days
and a voice
swallowed by the sea
and the mad in love
searches for it
Everywhere

In between the pages of dreams
he leaves
me
a letter
its lines made of gold
and the smell of jasmine
reveals
his name
.....

Choreography in a boiling pot

Two cinnamon sticks dance a passionate duet. A choir of mixed colour pepper corals glide back and forth and around the cinnamon’s backs. The sticks form a valley.

Emerging from the hiding place beneath a ginger, swimming towards the bay leaf – rocking the island oh so gently.  Setting everything in motion once more.   A ginger breaks out from the others and becomes a cloud, two slices turn towards her like wings … a flower blooming under water.  A ginger arches above the dancers and stage... the sun going from east

War on Humanity

This is a war against our humanity Making us demonise the other Making us blind to our faults Justifying crime and revenge   Our humanity is at stake. We cringe at being called animals  Yet they are superior  They do not go against the will of their creator They do not commit genocide   Our humanity is at stake Our ability to see the other in ourselves Ourselves in the other Nursed on hate What a pity- we could have been raised on love   O, the cursed sons and daughters of Abraham Sacrificed over and over again  How could we have reached this point So far from what was promised So far from the light   The kingdom of heaven  What has it brought us Can it be built on spilt blood If we plant tomato seeds, we get tomatoes If we plant war, there can never be peace It’s a vicious cycle Look at the war on terror and the terror it’s brought Listen to the mothers mourning their children Listen and weep The kingdom of heaven… How about we make it queendom.    On the bus from Bersheva / Bier al s
