You're Not/Knowing Poem by Chen-ou Liu

You're Not/Knowing

a tanka set written in response to 'Israel's oldest daily, Haaretz, ' Editorial, Oct.21: Netanyahu's Party Is Clearing the Path to Settling Gaza

no visible trace
of the walls of my house
of the living room
chairs, tables, dishes, and beds...
a Gazan cries between fireballs

each bombed-out house:
an album with no photos
but with people
the living, wounded and dead
pressed between its pages
