Maha Hashwi

I am fine and of course I am lying remember I am Lebanese

or nod ask how everyone I know is doing don’t

you see that far away country my mother

bursts into tears the front door resilient

smoke dust the rubble has become

blanket and bed warm like mine the fire

is blazing the flag burnt flesh on a phone screen

the demolition of war what is the definition

fleeing their homes they are dying

they are not crying out for help lend a

hand hold a heart

for being arab I am not brave
