mohammed el-kurd - my nakba birthday كلمات أغنية
your unkindness rewrote my autobiography:
punchlines in guts
blades for tongues
and a mouth pregnant with thunder
your unkindness told me to push
through
look
listen:
i was born on the 50th anniversary of the nakba
to a mother that reaped olives and figs
and other quranic verses
“wattini wal zaitoon,”
my name
a bomb in a white room;
a walking suspicion in an airport;
choice-less politics
i was born on the 50th anniversary of the nakba
outside the hospital room
protests
textured with burnt rubber
kuffiyah’ed faces and bare bodies
stones thrown onto tanks
tanks imprinted with u.s. flags
lands
smelling of tear gas
skies tiled with rubber-coated bullets
a few bodies shot
dead
died
numbers in a headline
i
and my sister born
birth lasts longer than death
in palestine
death is sudden
instant
constant
happens in between breaths
i was born amongst poetry
on the 50th anniversary
the liberation chants outside the hospital room
told my mother
to push
