Poems
When it rains blood
But whatever you do / do not look up at the sky / That gray sky with its black clouds.
Reem Sleem

History’s lost page
Once upon a time / In a land not so far / A people lived in peace / How pure they truly are!

Echoes of wars’ nights
Hush! Listen closely! Can you hear someone’s last breath / Can you hear it? Can you feel it? / Can you imagine it?
Huda Skaik

Had not this year gone by
Had not this year gone by, I’d never know / That three hundred sixty-five days unfold / In ink-black shadows.

I was in love with October
In Octobers, / the summer said farewell. / A shivering cold stood at the door.

Breathless in exile
A year of fear / A year of sleeplessness / A year of breathlessness / A year of loss
Alaa Mahdi Kudaih

Enough for me!
Enough for me / to see my friends in / Pieces.
Donya Abu Sitta

O world, do you hear me?
O world, have you witnessed what transpired? / The voices of truth-tellers are silenced.
Ibrahim Yaghi

Home
It's cold outside. / It has now been two weeks, / Three days, perhaps seven hours, / That I became houseless.
Ahmed Dader

A butterfly can fly everywhere
A butterfly can fly everywhere. / Open your window and look at me!
Batoul Mohamed Hassan Abou Ali
October 8, 2024
City of shadows
A ghostly city, devoid of life / Like scenes from the movies, full of strife.
Huda Skaik
October 5, 2024
Shadows of absence
As for you / You scrape the earth with bare hands / Searching for your brother’s head among the bones.
