#suheirhammad #defpoetry #911 #september11 #nyc #palestine *excerpt of a SOLID 6 minute poem the sister read on the def poetry jam, find it on youtube!

All holy history banned Unwritten books predicted the future; projected the past But my head unwraps around on what appears limitless Men created violence Who's son shall it be? Which male will parish a new day? Our boys' deaths galvanized We cherish corpses We mourn women, complicated Bitches get beat daily, profits made, prophets ignored Worn and tooth and amo, salted, lemon childhoods All colors run, none of us solid Don't look for shadow behind me I carry it within I live cycles of light and darkness Rhythm is half silence, I see now I never was one or the other Sickness, health, tender, violence I think now I never was pure Before form I was storm Blind, ignorant, still am Humanity contracted itself blind, malignant I never was pure Girl spoiled before ripen Language can't math me I experience exponentially Everything is everything One woman looses fifteen Maybe twenty members of her family One woman looses six One woman looses her head One woman searches rubble One woman feeds on trash One woman shoots her face One woman shoots her husband One woman traps herself One woman gives birth to a baby One woman gives birth to borders One woman no longer believes love will ever find her One woman never did Where do refugees' hearts go? Broken, dissed, placed where they are not from Don't want to be missed Faced with absence We mourn each one Or we mean nothing at all My spine curves spiral Precipice running to and from human beings Clustered bombs left behind Defacto land mines A smoldering grief Harvest, contaminated tobacco Harvest bombs Harvest baby teeth Harvest palms, smoke Harvest witness Smoke resolution Smoke salvation Smoke redemption Smoke breath Do not fear what has blown up If you must Fear the un-exploded.
