Sami Jitan, Nablus, New Jersey

When I return to Palestine I will realize that we are all lost and wandering – out of Africa, out of Egypt, out of the Promised Land. When I return ‘there’ – wherever that is, it will be not until everyone else has returned because I am least deserving.

My family left to live instead of stay to die. We were a clan of cowards lost in the desert. So when I return I will be the last of my family to shamefully step foot back into our house.

If I return it will only be by God’s good grace that I could step foot into Nablus after denouncing the Israeli, Jordanian and American governments.

If I ever return home it will be because heaven smiled on the love that I once knew in home baked za’taar, sugar-filled chai and summer-night salaam kisses on the cheek.

If I ever return to my home it will be into my lover’s ever-forgiving embrace.

When I return I will plant a tree in a soul and inspire the soil with a verse. Because when I return home I will finally be able to write and speak Arabic poetry fluently.

When I return home all the wrongs I’ve committed against mama and baba will be forgiven.

If there was ever a home in the first place, Islam would not mean anything because it wouldn’t have to – I can be Christian, Hindu, or Jewish and God will still listen to my prayer.

When I return home my heart will be at peace. When I return home I will be buried in the land.
