No, you aren’t fighting just for your people,
The Kurdish Braves,
But for all of us,
The 51 percent –
The 100 percent.

Like arid land in summer
My dry heart thirsts for you,
RIding a tide of lust,
I surge and search for you…

So as to witness from a distance

Like to not be

Happiness pursues me
But she is not my match.
I will always beat her
In this game of catch.

I was the most desired maiden
down at the foothills
of Tora Bora.
You might remember
our mothers’ warnings:
The spirits of the mountain

who dares set foot
on the ancient Goddess’s grounds…

Shoes separate us from earth,
Clothes – from wind,
Religion – from our sexuality,
Sunglasses and sunscreen
From the light of day

To the Ethiopians, I am Faranji,
To the Sephardi – Ashkenazi,
To the Japanese, – Geijin,
To the Mexicans – Gringa.
To the Palestinians – an invader…
A poetic search for a positive identity among multiple social negative ones.
