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

NEGEV
Like arid land in summer
My dry heart thirsts for you.
Riding a tide of lust
I surge and search for you.
Open and vulnerable
My wadis await the flashflood.
Perhaps some seeds would sprout this year.
