Tahwidah (Lullaby)
from A State of Seige
Mahmoud Darwish (2002)
If youll not be a rain, my love,
then be a tree
drenched in fertility be a tree
and if youll not be a tree, my love,
be a rock
drenched in humidity be a rock
and if youll not be a rock, my love,
be a moon
in the sleep of lovers be a moon
(This is what a woman told
her son at his funeral)
-translated from the Arabic by Mohammed Fairouz (2008)
