there is a poem on two glass panels

"i am from there, i am from here"
on one side there are red Arabic words
English on the other
"i have two languages"
i can see my reflection when i look at it
and the hallway behind me
i hear people walking
i see their outlines in the glass
"a harmony of speech and gesture"
there are small silver circles
around the outside of the panels
that are attached to the wall
something else used to be here
but it was removed
a faint outline still remains
"like the wings of a sparrow"
