rafah

Rafah is burning 

like rats herded into a box 

doused with lighting fluid 

then set ablaze

only these are mothers fathers children grandparents 

a lady leaves her children in a tent

heads out to cook

returns to gather their ashes in her hands

rafah is burning 

because Israel wants to, 

has to, kill one 

but can't do it without 

killing countless others 

so rafah is burning 

having fled from North to South 

and then more

now they are perfectly gathered 

for the final destruction 

their wails reach heaven but too late

rafah is burning.
