💙🏳️‍🌈💙 EXISTENCE Fadwa Tuqan In solitary life, I was a lost question; In the encompassing darkness, my answer was concealed. You were a bright new star radiating light from the darkness of the unknown, revealed by fate. The other stars rotated around you —once, twice — until it came to me, your unique radiance. Then the bleak blackness broke And in the matching tremors of our two hands I found my missing answer. Oh you! Oh you intimate, yet distant! Don’t you remember the coalescence Of your spirit in flames? Of my universe with yours? Of the two poets? Despite our great distance, Existence unites us – Existence!
