“One day, / The court of the captives will convene / before the halls of power…”

“May I find peace, / safety, / love.”

“I cannot be soothed / because there are / no moral answers…”

“reaching toward me, / as alive and animated / as my own unimaginable heart–”

“the shared livestream of celebrated death, / night and day of shattered glass.”

“I wish I could make enough soup to nourish the broken, injured, hurting, praying, people of the world.”

“I have lived enough to know there / are probably embers glowing…”

“Once upon the time / last weekend, something changed the composition of my body, / my memories, / and the way that I breathe.”

“Two weeks / have passed / since rockets / split the skies, / and invaders / split our hearts.”

“I pray for a swift end to this unwanted war.”
