| As large as the palm of my hand |
As a human being without borders |
I need all of the world |
As a Kurd, |
I need a land |
that would house forty-one million people |
And as a Kurdish human being without borders |
I need a garden plot |
as large as the palm of my hand |
in an arctic land |
where every summer |
using my trembling fingers |
| I can plant |
| radishes and onions. |
