Body of زيتون
“Now every time I say Free Palestine
I will become a 3 year old
At a check point”
Today my thoughts were in Jerusalem
There was a knot as we traveled down through a tunnel
I cleared my throat with water from Battir's well
My movements traced the roots of an olive tree, released her resistance and she held me tighter
I saw a settlement so fickle that it will cave in
Grounded by the fact that olive trees have roots and walls don't
I see Palestinians stand up in Wadi Foquin
Community is a body
History with roots before '48
Now every time I say Free Palestine
I will become a 3 year old
At a check point
Close my eyes super duper tight
Say abracadabra
And poof...
Zionism will disappear
