Let us not talk of injustice today. If you are a man you have already forgotten woman, if an Israeli then you barely imagine the rags Palestinians cling on to. Let it go. Let us not think about the injustice against black people or against jews or against muslims. There is no injustice against the poor by the deservedly rich. What would it mean, today, to think of and speak to another human being? The lost, the list of things and people and things lost is no longer a list.

I scatter you before me line by line with a mastery I only possessed in beginnings.

Darwish.
Time is a scarecrow
Time is a crow
with nothing to lose.
In the cave/stove
I assume an 'I',
assume a you,
together, 'we'
I have my eye on you.
[Before]
You[
Scattered like petals before my bride,
like petals after my death.
Sun and scar, indelible,
one.

Of course not!! It was darwish. What a line, though!! The rest, as you can tell, is mine ( though with some borrowing from the other darwish).
