We did not name it so that it would become a city. We came to it thirsty starved limping on blazing sands, blinded by sun glow. We cut the world from Mecca to the palace of Naaman. We cut the world with a sword until bone protruded through our hands and whitened. When we reached water we said let us rest here and watch the bank where water pours, flows, and pours. We dipped our swords in it. Trembling, we sheathed our hands and prayed. *** We did not name it so that it would become a city. We built nothing except the mosque the wall and the hut of Ali. *** But the first century is no longer the first. Here we are now leaving it H U N G from the gun barrels of tanks. *** Amman, June 27, 1993 _______________ Translated by Khaled Mattawa
