I see poetry as spiritual medicine.

One day, I will be a poet. Water will depend on my visions.

We are captives, even if our wheat grows over the fences/ and swallows rise from our broken chains./ We are captives of what we love, what we desire, and what we are.

My homeland is not a suitcase, and I am no traveller

I don't decide to represent anything except myself. But that self is full of collective memory.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

I wish I were a candle in the darkness.
