What do I do?
Life is back to normal
for them.
Not me.
I will never be normal
again
What do I do?

Stay focused
Another Palestinian grandfather holding up
their dead two month old grandchild
Stop crying

Push the rage down
Actually,leave it on
simmer
Turn it up slowly
Not too much
They’ ll stop listening
Just let it “be” for fuel.
Though, not combustion


Combustion.
All of Gaza is
combusting

My mind feels like it’s also combusting

What do I do?
So many words flying
around in my head
Trying to catch them all.
to piece them together, to tell a story

How many stories do we need to tell?
How many have we already told?
How much loss do they need to see?
How much loss can we take?


What do I do?
Stop crying
Stay focused
