Fite Fuaite is an ekphrastic poem in Irish and English by Gabriel Rosenstock inspired by We Shall Return by Palestinian artist Imad Abu Shtayyah.
Woven Cities
All things
can be patched together
artfully
every street
every lane
every roof
with sinews
arteries
and muscle
cities can shine again
in the morning sun
like bones
Fite Fuaite
Is féidir an uile ní
a fhí ina chéile
go cliste
P
gach sráid
is gach lána
gach díon
le féitheoga
le hartairí
le matáin
cathracha ag lonrú arís
faoi ghrian na maidine
ina gcnámha
