from a poet/friend in India
Not knowing is the worst thing,
The pain of uncertainty echoes!
Covering this have been
Conducting
Some of the most painful interviews –
“It is the job of outsiders
To help maintain a space for peace,
We deposit this peaceful space together,
Because we cannot hold it right now.
Take good care of it for us,
So that one day,
When the pain begins to heal,
Both of us might inhabit that space.
Sharing stories
Can help
Hold that space
For peace,
And begin the necessary work
Of repairing the world!”

Betty, I think we are beyond the limits of poetry, far beyond! They don’t need poets in Gaza, or Kyiv.
