the desert warriors, and me

the orange street lamp
coated my small worded pages
in a cycle of copper tints and blank shadows
through the straight shot
of the negev desert.

i thought of the women
who had sewed, soaped, and "not shut up"
their way to freedom,
and how many pages i always felt lay
between me and my wings.
are we there yet?
