This poem is part of an eight-poem series on the Palestinian people, war, and the heavy burden of watchingโ€”of standing present with suffering, yet not acting.

With deep gratitude to Jacalyn Eyvonne and Kathleen Herrmann, Co-Poets Laureate of Vallejo, California, for their tireless dedication in bringing this book into being,
and to the poets who entrusted these pages with their stories.
