A Name for This Fire

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.
