the hours whisper: hurry, hurry
deep in the day, as we wade in
the news rippling like a rumor
in the safe normal of the world
what songs can we follow now
across borders certain to harm
their traceless calm an unreality
their scenery silent... and empty
the willful trails worn into time
still show in between... the wars
everyone wants the good stories
of better worlds no one has seen

I was horrified midday that many of the Gazan accounts I had been following were now silent; no internet, no landlines, a complete communications blackout. Pic: Still at the conference; here's a little station that says "Give Solace Take Solace" and a ton of PostIts with messages on them. Mine is the blue note that says "Be Curious, Be Furious."
