friends,
i thought i'd share this poem i wrote to my wonderful Arabic wife, Intesar. i just found out that it came in second in Allpoetry's contest for new poets in february. i hope you enjoy it!

if the angel Gabriel
were to offer me three measures of grace
i’d tell him
“give them all to my Queen”
you need all three dimensions
to dance and move at will
while i need none merely to watch
in speechless admiration
in this we are different
you win by winning and i win by losing
so by losing my heart to you
we shall both win
