“I am fine and of course I am lying
remember
I am Lebanese
or nod
ask how everyone I know is doing
don’t
you see
that far away country
my mother
bursts into tears
the front door
resilient
smoke
dust
the rubble has become
blanket and bed
warm like mine
the fire
is blazing
the flag
burnt flesh on a phone screen
the demolition
of war
what is the definition
fleeing their homes
they are
dying
they are not
crying out for help
lend a
hand
hold a
heart
for being arab
I am not brave”

“My lesson on which blooms to pick and how to do so to preserve their scent is followed by lunch on the stone terrace. We eat flatbreads, warm and patchily charred from the griddle, folded over crumbled white cheese, tearing them apart and dipping the smoky bread and salty cheese into bowls of rose-scented jam.”
