In memory of Refaat Alareer and Hind Rajab
I’ll be brief, friends, speak quickly, this much
I’ve learned: there’s no perfection
in plague years, the soul of wit’s an engine
of breath, a puff of smoke, a pinch of salt,
a string, a tale, a life
in American dreams, war’s a fortress, a bunker,
a freckled whelp, a celluloid film, a stupid girl
forever picking the daisy that starts the
silo rising like a sphinx,........
