One of his poems states "You take me, set me on fire, and then leave me / in the vain path of the air" after asking "Where are you taking me my love, where?" Another poem declares "I prepare my portrait for my woman to hang on a wall when I die" and asks "Can I reach the summit of this rugged mountain?" In addition to The Pigeons Fly and Neighing at the Slope, this man asks "Oh watchmen! Are you not weary / Of lying in wait for the light in our salt" in a poem which states that during the titular condition, "time becomes space / Transfixed in its eternity" and "space becomes time / That has missed its yesterday and its tomorrow".

FTP, Under Siege, I Come From There, and Identity Card are all works of what noted poet from Palestine?
