the absurdity of the beauty of this dawn moment,
the absurdity
of the normalization of any moment or day, in life,
of the uninhibited and unselfconscious public documentation of both the ordinary and the excesses of life
simultaneous to
the People of Gaza documenting
Israeli Zionists
confining, starving, shooting, bombing, maiming, killing
and
incinerating
children,
in Palestine.

Meditation (1983)
Animals full of light
walk through the forest
toward someone aiming a gun
loaded with darkness.
That’s the world:
God holding still
letting it happen again,
and again and again.
- William Stafford (1914-1993)
