My Friend Beyond the Fence
My friend beyond the fence
Calls it a Wall
We will turn all walls into fences
Then our children will sit with each other over Ful M’dammas
Sweet tea
Strong coffee
I will speak with Farid al-Atrash playing in my mind
Umm Kulthum singing through me —
incantations
Whenever you speak
I will listen for the musical Shlomo
What if I told you
I am you
What if I felt that way
And we had no history
At all
