Fishermen Poem by Wadih Saadeh

Fishermen



Before they overthrow each other they practiced
long years
on partridge hunting
on throwing pebbles in the air
engraving them with bullets
they practiced plucking wings
making them brooms
They tried
to plant plumes
in their arms
to become birds
They fall down
like birds
