The Syrian March

Awaken!

One numb vestige at a time.

Shake the veil off

Off your ancient bosom.

…

Amin,

Allahu akbar,

En deus vult!

Awaken!

…

Shake them off.

Dishevel the seeds,

Buried deep

to waken.

The seeds of

The martyrs, your children.

…

Limbo,

Where they lived

In.

Lives uncounted for.

Seen unseen. Lived unliven.

…

Judder now! Awaken!

And call us home.
