without acknowledging the open hand
turning backs are like shutting doors
sinking life rafts sending up flares
how can any of this be rational
every scream is indelible
marking every human survivor
what is not burning at this moment
is getting ready
there is always another way
a million footsteps
didn't just spring up out of nowhere
you can't plow fields with bayonets
or drones
that outstretched arm
is our lifeline
