THE OLIVE TREE by Tawfiq Zayyad (translated by Sulafa Hijjawi)

"Because I do not knit wool

Because I am always hunted

And my house is always raided.

Because I cannot own a piece of paper,

I shall carve my memoirs

On the home yard olive tree.

I shall carve bitter reflections,

Scenes of love and yearnings,

For my stolen orange grove

And the lost tombs of my dead.

I shall carve all my strivings

For the sake of remembrance

For the time when I’ll drown them

In the avalanche of triumph

I shall carve the serial number

Of every stolen piece of land

The place of my village on the map

And the blown up houses,

And the uprooted trees

And every bloom that was crushed

And all the names of the experts in torture

The names of the prisons…..

I shall carve dedications

To memories threading down to eternity

To the blooded soil of Deir Yasin

And Kufur Qassem.

I shall carve the sun’s beckoning

And the moon’s whisperings

And what a skylark recalls

At a love deserted well.

For the sake of remembrance,

I shall continue to carve

All the chapters of my tragedy

And all the stages of Al- Nakbah

On the home yard olive tree!"

we have been together for years

it was his tender words, on one restless night

that would help me conquer my fears

he allows me to escape this perdition

and come to under stand the very nature

of a cursed human condition

bringing me to tears of joy

and of sorrow

it is my heart, my dearest,

that you can more than borrow

awake for days, when the mind betrays,

my very essence: slipping away

when all others have led to disappointment

he rescues me with a verbal anointment

and his soul, it arrests me

his words have never left me

his name is Dostoyevsky

i cannot even write a word because of this man influencing me so much. i have only owned this book for a year and have gone through it easily ten times. Antonin Artaud is among the most tortured of souls i know of and i’m not stopping this obsession for a while 💘
