Sonia Sulaiman (She/Her)
They call Palestine “She”
She’s beautiful, sights that make you crave more.
She smells good, the air lingers with blossoms.
She’s aging gracefully, scarred from battle.
They call Palestine “She”
She’s beautiful, enjoying the sights with me.
She smells good, like blossoms and summer.
She’s aging gracefully, her scars delicate to my touch.
There is She and there is Palestine.
Both their touches are welcome, longed for.
They make me feel alive, the best version of me.
I love her because she is my Palestine.
