woman
wake up
stand up
straight
unbending
raise your voice
dream the impossible
don't listen to them who tell you to
sit quietly
the corner is not your place
reclaim your space
you are meant for greatness
and greatness is
a smile of the eyes
a barrier moved
spaces reclaimed

Thanks for visiting. I'm khulud, a feminist Palestinian writer living in Haifa. Here I share my experiences within broader socio-political contexts. I play around with poetry, and publish fragments of fiction-in-progress. My first novel, Haifa Fragments, is available from Spinifex Press (Australia) and New Internationalist (UK)
