He Was Holding Me: Dedicated to the women who are in despair in Gaza

He Was Holding Me

(How can any of us even begin to imagine the agony?)

 

This grew in my mind, in the night, after seeing the despair of a woman returning to the rubble that had been her home in Gaza City.

 

He was holding me.

He was holding me.

And the bullet came from nowhere.

And his beautiful, beautiful body

convulsed and collapsed around me.

He was holding me.

He was holding me.

He was holding me.
