I have to believe
by Shebana Coelhi
I have to believe
that
the rain will rain
and then stop
that it will flail at windows
down the trees
and stop
that the leaves will bend this way
and that
the green will become brown
and the brown will become green
I have to believe
the earth will move
us into a time
when we heal it
that
the silence will become song
even as
a weary wind kills us down
and we made it
from refusing to breathe
from refusing to see
from saying
Chup
to all the women in the lineage
be quiet
We kill children in
each other’s names
and laud
the power that makes
men blind
to their own abyss
how to sing them down
into humility
I have to believe
that you do what you can
love who you love
sing what wants to sing you
and that will make some dot
of difference
I have to believe
it matters to
sit and breathe
and think
of your friend who is breaking
in Ramallah
the boy
you met one day in Gaza
and the peace activist
in Israel whose brother said at his own funeral
even as he was murdered
he would not want
another
Palestinian life taken in his name
the uprising is in you
refuse to live
a silent life
refuse to ignore
your passion
refuse to ignore
what is in
the way of that passion
rise up and love yourself
enough
to live what you love
that passion is safety
that safety is passion
the revolution
begins with you
living
and
yes
i am going there
now
let me wade into these waters
in conversations
people have said
meaning to be kind
middle east...
