Fa-las-teeennn...
Linger on the "n"--hold it, tongue tip to roof, secure it, imprint it ...
Then, release and breathe--ahhh, hawa w 7ureeya--Falasteeneeya...
Own it--make it sassy, sexy, strong ...
What you put into it is what it has put into you.
How you dress it is how it dresses you.
Your thobe sews its tatreez--red, gold, green--under the "Fa" through the "las" and into the "teen."
Ahhh, the teen...Beitin...the fresh teen. I remember you as you were pulled off the tree. Porch front, rooftop, and an entire universe ahead. "Oskot, akhairlak"...oskot, il khair lak. Isma3 u shoof....
"Kashi3 il teen wl 3nib wl zaytoon?" +++Beitilu+++ Ya ikshaylee...laysh tarakookee?
"EEE".... fal as teen EEE ... Allah yjazee ... Abee Falasteenee
Qalbee Falasteenee ... ow "k"lbee 3a Shari3 il Khala, At-Tur
At-Tur, where the medanee and fala7ee meld into one "cheef 7alkom"
Il 7al ... mashee il 7al ... 7alee balee ...
7alee Falasteenee .... yah ... Aa
Alif, il bidaya, il asil.
Aslee ...
