If You Live, Live Free Or Die

I've Built My Homeland, I've Even Founded My State - In My Language.

And I Tell Myself, A Moon Will Rise From My Darkness.

I Am Not A Lover Of Israel, Of Course. I Have No Reason To Be. But I Don't Hate Jews.

I Don't Decide To Represent Anything Except Myself. But That Self Is Full Of Collective Memory.

I See Poetry As Spiritual Medicine.
