Psalm 3

Psalm 3


 

Mahmoud Darwish



Translated by: Denys Johnson-Davies/The Music of Human Flesh.


The day my words were
of earth
I was a friend to ears of wheat.

The day my words were
Of anger
I was a friend to chains.

The day my words were
of revolt
I was a friend to the earthquakes.

The day my words were
of colocynth
I was the friend of the optimist.

When my words became
honey
Files covered
My lips.
