The Palestinian Nose


It's not spectacular

but it is distinct

how can I explain?

Those who have the long thin nose

that enlarges and widens at the bottom

close to the lips

quietly breathing in and out

passed down from parent to child

for as long as the people of 

Palestine 

have been here

you will notice those who are determined

will not give up

or brag the important work

they are dedicated to do

quietly without fanfare

but they finish the task.
