Description

Perched atop the plinth On skeletal remains of home The women trapped Exposed to the sky Peer over the ledge They reach and scream Watching the scene As their babies and men Bleed out before them They aid in the search below From storeys above Ever watchful Mother's eyes Witness A house marked safe A family sheltered And yet And yet The bomb fell And obliterated The illusion The lie told to self And to children That there was any place And now limbs litter The threshold The street And a corpse Impaled on a tree Hangs inverted Borne upon The crosshairs A Poppy in full bloom in delicate tones of purple and grey. (Papaver Rhoeas) The devastating violence being faced by the civilians in Gaza now and over the past 75 years in Palestine is finally reaching the minds of the world. I have served as witness, and have written poetry to reflect on what I have seen and heard, some of which is included in this series. In solidarity with the men, women and children of Gaza this series was created to raise funds for INARA, an organization that provides emergency medical relief in disaster areas around the globe. INARA is currently raising funds for their active effort to evacuate children with complex medical cases and to provide mental health support to first responders and educators remaining in Gaza during this period of crisis. The proceeds of sales are as follows: Malicious Sheep - 5 shares INARA - 95 shares 2023 Nikon D3500, 55-200mm Lens + 68mm Extension Tube.
