One day I shall walk all the way to Gaza, depart from the lemons of longing, from seventy five
summers of barriers and walls, from the hills of the Galilee, Nazareth and the Haifa port,
I could cut through the flattened coast, walk the flat coastal road and peel Yaffa oranges for sunset
but I've always wanted to climb shepherd hills and dwell in the green orchards of the valleys of Jenin
and from there to the rocky slopes of the mountains of Nablus and the fiery hills of Al-Khalil,
string the cities and villages of Palestine on a straight thread, like beads, without loops, knots or twists;
one day, as father used to say, the exiled shall march back on foot from Gaza's coast to Galilee.
By Khalil Sima'an
