[Puisi] I Belong There (Mahmoud Darwish)

I Belong There. 

Mahmoud Darwish (1941 - 2008)

 .

 I belong there. I have many memories. I was born as everyone is born.

 I have a mother, a house with many windows, brothers, friends, and a prison cell

 with a chilly window! I have a wave snatched by seagulls, a panorama of my own.

 I have a saturated meadow. In the deep horizon of my word, I have a moon,

 a bird’s sustenance, and an immortal olive tree.

 I have lived on the land long before swords turned man into prey.

 I belong there. When heaven mourns for her mother, I return heaven to 

 her mother.

 And I cry so that a returning cloud might carry my tears.

 To break the rules, I have learned all the words needed for a trial by blood.

 I have learned and dismantled all the words in order to draw from them a 

 single word: Home.

 Setiap tahun, setiap kali Ramadhan, Israel memang minum darah rakyat Palestin. Itu pun kalau kamu sedar
