The only light in Gaza right now is from Israeli bombs.
Israel has cut off electricity and water to 2.1 million Palestinians — resuming its genocidal war and pushing Gaza toward total humanitarian collapse.

reflections and a new poem on childhood love on my substack today👼📻🌕
open.substack.com/pub/sleepyfa...
View From A Café Window A family sits below talking and tasting wine. A hand pushes a stroller back and forth, everyone smiling in their places. A small breeze drifts through slightly wilted trees. The end of winter is slow and quiet. Loneliness abates in tiny steps.
