Reasons for a detour

On my walk to class
I came upon a small herd
Hello city sheep.

Running in Amman

Look, a crazy girl!

Let's all stare at her and shout.

For what does she run?

Sunset Wanderings

At dusk the city
Clings to the light as it fades
And the mosques shine green.

Tea Time Friends?

Doing work alone.
Arabic-speaker enters!
Just wants a biscuit.

*Dedicated to Emma and my deep overeagerness at work.

Desert Winters

Never snow or rain;
I'm blinded every morning
By the freezing sun

Hello February!

I think I will choose
Not the UN internship
Does this make me mad?



I'm interning with the IEC (Jordanian Independent Election Commission)... and I just really like it. I don't think I can quit, even for an internship offer from UNRWA.

Hard decision.

To New York and beyond

I can't stand beside
You and march and fight today
Though I wish I could

But take this to heart,
From afar, your voice is heard
It sounds and ripples...
