Don't ever be surprised
to see a rose shoulder up
among the ruins of the house:
This is how we survived.

"My parents and siblings were walking behind.
We dared not to look back to see them.
I had seven siblings at the time.

"...my new neighbor was murdered.
Ghassan Abul-Amrin,
barely 20.
(Now I am older than he was then.)
Ghassan went out to buy bread for his mother.
He didn't return home. The fanily got worried,
turned on the radio to check if his name was announced.
This has been how we learn about our dead."

Seven Fingers
Whenever she meets new people, she sinks
her small hands into the pockets of her jeans,
moves them
as if she's counting
some coins. (She's just lost seven
fingers in the war.) Then she
moves away,
back hunched,
tiny as a dwarf.

In Gaza some of us cannot completely die.
Evey time a bomb falls every time a shrapnel hits our graves,
every time the rubble piles up on our heads,
we are awakened from our temporary death.
