Torn
My song did not come
to draw Ahmad the blue
in the trench
Memories are behind my back,
and he is the day of the sun
and carnation
Oh, ye boy who is between
two windows
Do not exchange my letters
Resist
Resemblance is for the sand...
and you are for the blue...
From AA's translation of Ahmad Az-Za`tar by Mahmud Darwish
