Poem
Najwan Darwish
IT’S NO USE
It’s no use hiding and locking the doorsMoving into buildings where no one could know us
is also no use
Even if you run off the precipice
and into the void
history
will still hold onto your name
© Translation: 2012, Kareem James Abu-Zeid
Het helpt niet
Vluchten en deuren afsluiten helpt nietOf in gebouwen wonen waarin niemand ons kan kennen
Het helpt zelfs niet
Om in de afgrond van de dood te springen
De geschiedenis
Zal je naam onthouden
