GAZA

Hundreds murdered each day,

and the 'West' cuts aid

because those committing

the genocide say so.

What is there to say?

Certainly not 'Never Again.'

FINLAND JOINS THE GENOCIDE

After International Court of Justice ruling

went against Apartheid Israel's regime,

the 'West', including pathetic Finland,

moves to end funding to the UNRWA,

United Nations Refief and Works Agency

for Palestine Refugees.

As a revenge, as a diversion,

spitting International Court of Justice

in the face, like one Israeli peace activist wrote.

Palestinian people in Gaza are already starving,

dying from lack of food and basic medicines

and healthcare.

500 000 were facing death this year.

These champions of Apartheid Israel

want to make it worse.

To them, only Israeli Jewish lives matter.

To them, Palestinians are worthless subhumams

whose lives have no value.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

I used to vote in every election.

Waited for results, staying

up late to know how they went.

Now it doesn't matter.

Elections, or voting,

or even results.

My vote doesn't matter

and not voting doesn't matter,

and a bastard will be smiling

when it's all over.

THAW

Sound of rain falling

throughout the night

and day gone silent,

now snow melting

dripping from boughs,

from the rain gutters,

one day of flowing

water between snows piling

up over days melting

away into forever,

unfrozen time dripping

away in the gray January.

GRASPING

A few

words,

no more.

All said

before, again

and again.

Repeated

with a few

changes.

So now,

just this

grasping.

DORA(2005?-2024)

How long did we know

each other, white cat

from Estonia?

Thirteen years, or so.

Still on Wednesday

you came beside me

on the bed and purred.

you who were so shy.

Today you slept

and will not wake.

THE WORDS HAVE GONE AWAY

The words have gone

away, the vessel

is empty.

Let it be.

They will come

back, or not,

the vessel will

be filled, or not.

It's all good.

The words that have

been are enough,

or will be, one day.

YET

There is no recovery, coming

back, from such a loss. Return

to what was normal... that is

just empty words, frayed curtains

on windows behind which

there is nothing, on either

side. There is just existence,

the flow of days, before

some erasing moment.

Everything else a comforting

lie told to children.

ALL THAT IS, PASSES

Things end and are not renewed,

the Earth buries the lost things,

fading memories, in its bosom.

Fragments, hidden from the eyes

and minds, are all that remains.

ON THE 1ST DAY OF THE YEAR

An agnostic Zionist argues that if Israel

doesn't have a right to commit a genocide

against occupied Palestinians, then

the Holocaust would be "justified".

Do these people ever stop to listen

what they themselves say?
