I See Poetry As Spiritual

She Does Not Love You. Your Metaphors Thrill Her You Are Her Poet. But That's All There's To It.

We Have To Understand - Not Justify - What Gives Rise To This Tragedy. It's Not Because They're Looking For Beautiful Virgins In Heaven, As Orientalists Portray It. Palestinian People Are In Love With Life. If We Give Them Hope - A Political Solution - They'll Stop Killing Themselves.

And What I Don't Understand I Grasp It Only When It's Too Late.

On This Earth There Is That Which Deserves Life.

I Want To Find A Language That Transforms Language Itself Into Steel For The Spirit--a Language To Use Against These Sparkling Insects, These Jets.
