You should know
that after you ready
to meet the far,
stony shore, it is not hope
but the strange fire
of forgiveness
that flares & fights
_____
there—not wanting
to go, hoping only
you’d said so
long to all you know—
to the elms
who also know what it means
to be told you’d die
& survive.
Hereafter, Kevin Young
Access to food is extremely difficult. In Gaza. Please help them, those not ready.
