Poem From the Ashes


Gaza in the Palisades

Leveled to sameness

Millions as kindling

Firestorms as if…

No shield for embers

Acres vacant, evacuated

What money can’t buy

Hydrants drip by the sea

Walls between gone

Gone to gusts uncontained

No home, no homeland

From desert to the sea

Cease fire cease

An occasion to gather

To share worldly goods

To wake to what is.

  1. As always, thank you for these sobering words, and for the reminder that other tragedies don't stop just because we've got one closer to hime.

  2. Seems like we're either killing each other or letting loose the furies of Nature, by neglect.
