THE GIRL AMONG THE FLAMES IN GAZA

We don't know if she gets out
of the inferno
into which Israel turned the school
that until the bombs and the flames

had sheltered her and her family,
her people driven from their homes
turned into rubble, her people
driven from the ruins into the flames.

We see her making her way
among the flames slowly,
it appears to us
she is limping, the small dark

shape against the brightly burning
blaze devouring lives, bodies
dead and living, we
don't see her fate,

if she is among the at least thirty dead,
the wounded survivors,
we only see her in Hell
created by human beings,

trapped in a burning school,
trapped in this moment,
this moment that shames
us all, this Hell humanity allows

to exist on Earth,
watching the dark shapes
limping through the inferno
of the consuming Holocaust.
