“Americans are dying,
Arabs dancing in the streets,
exchanging mubarak in Cairo’s tea houses,
Sharon firing his tanks.
Bring back Oslo. Peace be to peacemaker.
You have the right
steps of Abraham.
Come sit at the table
so long as you
have life and might
and remind us
that if kisses of death blow in your direction again,
there would be hurricanes torching their homes.
Come sit by me
and once in a while remind me
that you still have a heart.”
