A Violet Darkness by Najwan Darwish

A Violet Darkness

And all that remains for me is to follow a violet darkness 

on soil where myths splinter and crack. 

Yes, love was time, and it too 

splintered and cracked 

like the face of our country.


My share of the people 

is the transit of their ghosts.
