But What's It About?

"The only kid who survived the massacre says:
I am the only one who jumped higher than everyone.
Neighborhood boys told me that this is something supernatural,
I am the one who jumped higher than everybody.

that we need an open door
only for us,
it could be any door,
even the door of the sky."

—Mohammed Alkronz via Gaza Poets Society

"fine shreds
pending above the rigid leaves"

"What people liked about these plain little books, when they saw and held them, was that they were little; appealing both to eye and hand."
