Intifada Incantation: Poem #8 for b.b.L.

By June Jordan

I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED

GENOCIDE TO STOP

I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED AFFIRMATIVE

ACTION AND REACTION

I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED MUSIC

OUT THE WINDOWS

I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED

NOBODY THIRST AND NOBODY

NOBODY COLD

I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED I WANTED

JUSTICE UNDER MY NOSE

I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED

BOUNDARIES TO DISAPPEAR

I WANTED

NOBODY ROLL BACK THE TREES!

I WANTED

NOBODY TAKE AWAY DAYBREAK!

I WANTED

NOBODY FREEZE ALL THE PEOPLE ON THEIR

KNEES!

I WANTED YOU

I WANTED YOUR KISS ON THE SKIN OF MY SOUL

AND NOW YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME AND I STAND

DESPITE THE TRILLION TREACHERIES OF SAND

YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME AND I HOLD THE LONGING

OF THE WINTER IN MY HAND

YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME AND I COMMIT

TO FRICTION AND THE UNDERTAKING

OF THE PEARL

YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME

YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME

AND I HAVE BEGUN

I BEGIN TO BELIEVE MAYBE

MAYBE YOU DO

I AM TASTING MYSELF

IN THE MOUTH OF THE SUN

On Nov. 1, Joshua Gutterman Tranen revealed that the Poetry Foundation had indefinitely shelved his review of Sam Sax's PIG. They did not want to be perceived as "taking sides" by publishing the work of an anti-Zionist Jewish critic writing on an anti-Zionist Jewish poet. This was relayed on Oct. 8, right on the cusp of Israel's escalated bombardment of Gaza. What is the function of criticism, if not to situate art in its broader context? And what context could be more pertinent for this work than the moment when anti-Zionist Jewish activists in the U.S. find themselves being arrested for opposing the genocide of Palestinians? Immediately, writers expressed their disappointment with this act of censorship. The Foundation's tepid response failed to instill confidence. In a letter to the foundation, magazine contributor Lena Khalaf Tuffaha highlighted the hypocrisy of publishing June Jordan's words: In times of crisis…Poetry Foundation uses these writers' work as pull quotes on the site. June Jordan comes to mind, a poem of whose is featured in the November issue of the magazine, entitled: “Intifada Incantation: Poem #8 for b.b.L.”…declares: ‘I SAID I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED GENOCIDE TO STOP' What might the good people of the Poetry Foundation imagine these lines to be about? Is June taking a side? Or is it that such clarity as hers can only be published after the fact, long after the writer and the event have passed? “Long after the writer and the event have passed” succinctly points to a common tactic of delay, to which the Foundation is no stranger.
