Status Updates From Mornings in Jenin

thus Yehya tailed forty generations of living, now stolen. forty generations of childbirth and funerals, weddings and dance, prayer and scraped knees. forty generations of sin and charity… all carried away by the notion of entitlement of another people, who would settle in the vacancy and proclaim it all - all that was left in the way of architecture, orchards, wells, flowers, and charm.
