I Don't Want to Love You, But I Do
by Cecilia Lucas

I am coming to terms with something that I've tried to deny, something
I've been taught to deny.  And so I have written a love poem.  For
Hizbullah.  Like love that inspires poems often is, this love is not
all rosy and sweet.  It is complicated, tortured, frustrated, somewhat
inappropriate, certainly scandalous, sometimes hesitant.  It is
irrational and overly rational.  But still, it is love . A dear friend
told me today, "Nobody ever really learns something without feeling
something."  So, to Hizbullah, I offer this poem.
