The Tenant
Call it a pilgrimage
if you like.
Call it holy, only
don’t stop moving.
Keep your mind agile,
occupied with ideas like
survival.
Keep it to a phone screen
if you can.
Curate stories (sorry,
tag for gore please).
Contain sensitive
images that some might find
disturbing.
Compartmentalising
apartments
blasted open, coping
only in hope
that the key still fits
when all things are said and done,
tomorrow.
And there will be tomorrow,
and there will come a time.
Today, hold space for hell.
We pray, but do not dwell
on Palestine.
