Might This Be A Palestinian Woman's Lament

In my ruined world I call home

How sad it is to have lived so long

                        for

There is rubble under my feet

The light sky from fright has taken flight 

                        as

No stars assemble despite dark night

Upside down is my people’s world

                        so

Low to the ground is my people’s world

Low to the ground is my people’s world
