Month: May 2024

Stacked on the back of his cycle,
three shiny slabs of ice
are melting before my eyes–

how many friends will we lose
before rains bring relief
from this killing heat?

Meanwhile children in Rafah
are burning in tents  
and schools–

we must uncover our eyes, 
grieve and organise–we must 
find a name for this fire.
