I Belong There
Mahmoud Darwish
1941 –2008

I belong there. I have many memories. I was born as everyone is born.
I have a mother, a house with many windows, brothers, friends, and a prison cell
with a chilly window! I have a wave snatched by seagulls, a panorama of my own.
I have a saturated meadow. In the deep horizon of my word, I have a moon,
a bird’s sustenance, and an immortal olive tree.
I have lived on the land long before swords turned man into prey.
I belong there. When heaven mourns for her mother, I return heaven to her mother.
And I cry so that a returning cloud might carry my tears.
To break the rules, I have learned all the words needed for a trial by blood.
I have learned and dismantled all the words in order to draw from them a
single word: Home.

Thanks, @springboardarts and @mcknightfdn for including me in your Fellows evening this past week, it was wonderful to see old friends and meet new people and chat about the Artist Career Consultation offerings. Thanks to Naomi Cohn for the little finger puppet which is now dreaming among my poetry dice 🎲. It felt like an arts reunion because I got to hug @aamalaki @feraira11 @edboklee @rackleystudio @anitrabudd @whos.that.bint @artikatyner and meet awesome artist leaders for the first time including Springboard’s Economic Opportunity Director @wonevang78 and Associate Director Jun-Li Wang who gave tours of the beautiful, welcoming space. I’m still in a glow!

I want everyone to have a copy of RIDE SAFE: One dyke’s journey to healing from the West Bank to the West Coast by dear friend Josina Manu Maltzman. It’s an essay about the search for survival, safety, the meaning of accountability, and the work toward personal and collective healing and liberation—and so much more. A tiny bat! 🦇 A bike! 🏍️ Anti-Zionism, solitude, trauma, love, hunger, grief, and what is worth fighting for 💜.
