Movements

1

Lust is a mad adventure –
a struggle in the streets

2

Escape is a waltz with the clouds,
steps that vanish on the feathers of a dove

3

The sound of the sea: an accursed city
And the moon laughs mockingly
Water alone knows the secret of drowning
and the wave is master of improvisation

4

The streets are barefoot
Rain turns wild

5

Gossip all the time
unless we drain it
from our blood

6

Adrenaline overwhelms us
when we’re impaled by desire

7

Can you unveil my palm
without a kiss
or a bomb?

8

Tap… tap… tap…
From now on, no gates
to this city

 

Fatena al-Gharra (Gaza – )
