Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCXXXVI: "a golden dove statue"
inspired by George Orwell's ghost
the man who bombed kids
gives a golden dove statue
to the man
who sent him planeloads of bombs:
war is peace, peace is war ...
FYI: The Jerusalem Post, Oct. 13 2025: PM Netanyahu presented US President Trump with a gift today, gifting him a golden dove.
And Haaretz, Editorial, Oct. 15 2025: Netanyahu Fears Peace More Than He Fears War.
Added: Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCXXXVII: "now, ceasefire"
Now, "Ceasefire"
a boy stares
into the TV camera ...
his bones
protruding as if chiseled
by the cruel hand of famine
with glazed pupils
a white-haired woman
gazes up
searching for a sky-high shelf
of hummus-stuffed bread
FYI: Democracy, Oct. 15 2025: Pressure Grows on Israel to Allow More Aid into Gaza
Pressure is growing on Israel to allow more aid into Gaza as the ceasefire continues to hold. On Tuesday, Israel told the United Nations it would allow only half of the 600 daily aid trucks called for under the deal.
