“خلِّ الذنوبَ صغيرَها و كبيرها ذاك التُقى
واعمل كماشٍ فوق أرض الشوك يحذر ما يَرى
لا تحقرنّ صغيرة إنّ الجبال من الحصى”

“They stripped you off your colours;
those that you spent your childhood mixing them
to draw birds and butterflies.
They dipped your wings/dreams in mud.
Then they piled them on your shoulders
until you metamorphosed into a terrible octopus.
Whenever you got rid of one arm, another one smothered you.
Now, you no longer dream of flying.”
