It doesn’t matter
that 58 seconds isn’t long enough
to find your wedding album
or your son’s favorite blanket
or your daughter’s almost completed college application or your shoes
or to gather everyone in the house.
It doesn’t matter what you had planned.
It doesn’t matter who you are.
Prove you’re human.
Prove you stand on two legs.
Run.
— Running Orders by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha
Beginning with Lena Khalaf Tuffaha’s viral poem, Running Orders, Rubble by Suvendrini Lena takes us to an abandoned theatre, where a poet recites from the celebrated poetry of Mahmoud Darwish (as translated by Fady Joudah) and asks the both timeless and urgent question: What is the meaning of poetry amidst a state of siege? What is our responsibility as we read, write, hear, and witness the survival of the human spirit in poetry?
