Remembering a 15 Year Old Palestinian Woman in Prison
Chained to the Bed Springs
She Had Refused to Stop Singing
Marilyn Buck
[This poem is read by Vini Bhansali. 
]
chained for singing
clear minor notes
still her song soars
skyward
women sing songs
lullabies lovesongs
blues songs
chants of exiled lives
and martyrs’ death
voices search out sounds
not yet noted on bars
not yet ordered on scales
to bring down walls
to raise Palestine, free
Summer 1988
