Los Angeles Intifada – Michigan Quarterly Review

Palestinian history is inextricably global, its locations many, and its social, cultural, and political entanglements with the world endless. The writing of Palestinian history, therefore, must necessarily attune itself to the local lives and particular struggles of refugees scattered across jurisdictions and far beyond Israel’s territorial control.

a year of lovin you

In spring it becomes obvious 
how lovely you really are my
baby my baby my baby
soft voiced but strong

In summer it is unavoidable
you strutted right into bedstuy
without a sweat it seemed
from the outside tho you say

In fall it is clearer than ever
the murderers drop facade
and the world goes smaller and
crueler but you do not my dear

Wintertime you knock back on
my door, you wear the year well
we sit on hardwood floor
played cards, the cats fur
tickles us, spring again!

This time this time will be
different because we say so
because the seasons change
our love only grows the
children laugh and we laugh back

Sweetness, my sweet one don't
look back don't stop for a minute
the future is where we live
