[SUDDENLY I]
Suddenly I
"in a blaze" died.
Suddenly time
quit lingering.
Suddenly you
can't find my body,
can't bury
what you can't find.
My final poem,
I wrote years before
my hour arrived.
Suddenly my voice,
thought voiceless
because stateless,
gave voice
to a noisy world.
Suddenly "a kite."
Suddenly I.
(Fady Joudah)
