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.
