44 dazed

i hate that i love you
turned into israel & gaza.
i can't say which of us was first
or wrong. i still have sympathies
for both sides. about that
scorched earth policy --we had
to be driven apart.


the cease fire only lasts as long
as it takes to forget muscle memory.


it wasn't about the land, i know
we could have shared a villa
anywhere on earth
except here, except now.
