It’s been 15 months since the Flour Massacre, so named because of the shock that the world had that Israel would massacre Palestinians waiting for food. Now this atrocity is happening daily and it’s become just another headline.
Israeli forces kill 51 Palestinians waiting for flour at Gaza aid site, witnesses and rescuers say bbc.in/3ZWJ9mL

This poem by @caesarah_ took my breath away.
i have a poem in the spring issue of @pleiadesmag as part of a beautifully curated elegy folio. feels weird to say “please read about the worst time of my life” but that’s life huh! 👍🏽

Genocide has long arms. If you think you can escape the consequences of this in your life, that your passport or physical distance protects you, you have not been paying attention. Call it boomerang, call it karma, call it the ghosts of murdered children…you will never escape it
