Kin

There is an awkward image in front of me. I can't recognise such thin silhouette as mine.

Through the fog, I stare at a stranger. I am covered, she is covered. We look at each other with the same distrustful expression on the face. Quiet, still, silent. The fog does not move; everything is frozen.

I approach her. She is serious, and looks much older than me. Thin face and arms, naked shoulders. Our eyes wide open. She has something that belongs to me.

I feel repulsed by her appearance and I move back, slowly. She stares at me, quietly. It seems like her expression has not changed one bit. Suddenly, she starts taking off her cover, as mine begins to slide.

It finally falls, and the scene shows a naked woman. Her mature body shows no infant roundness. The history of human race seems to be written in her skin. And her fertile belly shows the readiness to give life.

She stares at me, silently. Her breast reminds me of the sex and the children I never had and never wanted. I approach her again, I try to touch her...

That is when my hand meets the mirror.

חינם פלסטין



Close my eyes tonight.
My conscience by my side.

It's hard to live this life
Where truth begins with lies.

So I won't sleep
I will stay awake
'Cause if I dream
Then they'll take their claim

Oh try, oh try to fight...
To stay awake tonight.
Palestine, Palestine, Palestine...
Always on my mind.

Truth is where desire ends
A meaning to an end
I search myself all the time
To change what's in my mind

So I won't sleep
I will stay awake
'Cause if I dream
Then they'll take their claim

Oh try, oh try to fight...
To stay awake tonight.
Palestine, Palestine, Palestine...
Always on my mind.

I can't find peace 'cause it's hard to release what we've done.
What we could be if we'd only see what we've become.
It's unbelievable, it's undeniable, oh.
I want free, won't sleep, won't dream, won't eat, won't breathe,
Won't give in to what's building inside of me, oh...

Close my eyes tonight.
My conscience by my side.
