A Sea of Names
between one siren and the next.
Somewhere beneath the noise,
a child is still waiting
for a home that remembers them.
Somewhere, a mother
holds the silence of someone
who will never come back.
And still,
through the smoke,
through the broken streets,
the colors rise.
Not because the pain is gone,
but because we are still here.
Still breathing.
Still remembering.
Still Palestine.
