Mourning by Tayseer Abu Odeh
"Thirty-nine times I came to my life,
each time carrying my mother’s stories,
her stoic smile, her pain, too.
Thirty-nine times I experienced my private tragedy,
still it estranges me.
Thirty-nine times I put on my exile
(unlike neighbors, I never found my birthplace).
I grew up a stranger at home.
I carried Jerusalem’s map on my shoulder.
I waited for silence to speak.
I began to narrate my story, but scars aren’t meant to talk.
For thirty-nine years I inherited my father’s wounds.
I forgot his words, but they sprouted beneath my skin.
like fungi grows in my body and soul.
And my mourning flowers in the backyard.
And now, after thirty-nine autumns, I’m a stranger to myself,
a stranger to my childhood memories, its bitter groaning.
I write my forgetfulness on the wall of history
in my rose-colored blood, with a lantern in my hand."

A Widowed City by Tayseer Abu Odeh.
"To portray this widowed city,
I look over her rounded shoulders
for her jars of pickles, and figs, her lost kids, their shoes.
Without a camera, I walk my murdered house,
from ruined kitchen to buried chair.
I walk from one carcass to another. Quiet,
quiet, they wave their bleeding arms to me.
I met a stranger from Khan Younis,
who said, “I found a wounded dog
licking her tail, starving for days,
and near her, on the ground, pages of Men
in the Sun and a torn album of wedding photos.”
People’s smiles, they mock me in my melancholy."
