Mapping the Geography of Absence
The poem “Geography of Absence” explores the pain of loss and exile. It evokes the Barada River and the memory of a city worn down by stories and bullets, asking what remains of a place when its people leave it—or it leaves them. It sees the homeland not as borders or an anthem, but as a place that secures a person’s right to life, freedom, and to live in their own identity. The distance between a person and their homeland, it suggests, is a spiritual wound that no change of geography can heal.
