JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT, LISTENING TO BIRDS SINGING

Seven and half hours
of doing something
to share

what is being done
to human beings
in Gaza,

and now the day
is over, the birds
sing in the summer dark

and my mind
seeks her image,
raises it before the world's pain,

imagines her beside
me, listening
to the birds singing in the dark,

the blood that courses
in unruptured veins, following
the need to forget, briefly,

the people who sat in a cafe,
waited at a warehouse for aid,
and are now dead, never

hearing the sound of birds
singing in the summer dark
when guns are silent

and those who broke
human body after human body
after human body are caged animals.
