  • Poster/Print + Digital Album

    This tatreez-inspired print symbolizing a mill wheel pays homage to Palestinian women, who have played an integral role in resisting the Israeli occupation. Tatreez — a centuries old artful embroidery technique with radical roots — is just one of the many tools they have utilized.

    This is a limited edition blockprint (one of 50)

    Each piece is hand printed onto archival paper (Rives BFK 280g cream 100% cotton), and will be signed and numbered.

    Due to the nature of hand printing, each piece has slight variations from each other and may vary slightly from the image pictured.

    Roughly 7"x7"

lyrics

The world ain’t big enough for lovers who run
Blood ain’t thick enough for mothers and sons
She can’t drink quick enough to have a little fun
If that ain’t sad enough, just wait until I’m done

The water’s rising, what doesn’t burn will drown
Or freeze in little boxes under southern border towns
All the men dying with more than they can spend
Ain’t it just enough, the stiffest mind to bend

We can’t hold it all
Our hands are just too small
The best we can do is break up time
And keep it on a narrow line

The women wake at night and wait for them to come
All thosе monsters long since dead and gonе
Cold grey fishing towns, I remember them the same
Each and every street sign bedeviled with their names

We can’t hold it all
Our hands are just too small
The best we can do is break up time
And keep it on a narrow line
Just keep it on a narrow line
