Ho disegnato una porta
e mi sono seduta dietro di lei
pronta ad aprirla
non appena arrivi

Palestinian embroidery on handkerchief. On it written in Arabic, ‘Women running barefoot. Behind them, stars falling from the sky.’ By dunyamikhail
Ringrazio
tutti coloro che non Amo
perché non Mi fanno
venire il mal di testa
non Mi fanno
scrivere lunghe lettere
non agitano
i Miei sogni
non Li attendo
con ansia
non leggo
i Loro Oroscopi
sul giornale
non compongo
il Loro numero
di telefono
...Non Li Penso!...
Dunya Mikhail, Ringraziamento
"Not even when I find myself saying the same thing over and over as if those words were oars cutting through a river we cross in turns with our untold stories to that same shore, in silence." #DunyaMikhail . #Poetry. (at Samastipur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yCEXXBZFu/?igshid=1jv17e3okyi4i
"We cross borders lightly like clouds. Nothing carries us, but as we move on we carry rain, and an accent, and a memory of another place." #DunyaMikhail. #Poetry. #immigration. (at Samastipur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yAk7IhSgF/?igshid=7746xjuix3lm
”It’s as if I’m hearing music in the boat’s hull, as if I can smell the river, the lily, the fish, as if I’m touching the skies that fall from the words “I love you,” as if I can see those tiny notes that are read over and over again, as if I’m living the lives of birds who bear nothing but their feathers.” 🦅 #poetry @dunyamikhail #DunyaMikhail #Iraqinights (at Lausanne, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2W0Q0_Imus/?igshid=z2dmdmjgpjd9
