Humans continue to hurt each other. Why? How come? These are hard questions that I won't pretend to know the answers to.
It is devastating.
For now, I return to the poem
Revenge by late Palestinian poet Taha Muhammad Ali, translated by Peter Cole, Yahya Hijazi and Gabriel Levin. I often think of this reading from the Dodge Poetry Festival in 2006. Perhaps one day it will no longer be relevant. You can also watch it
here.
