  1. he calls it love
    but nothing adheres

    I keep placing my hand there
    as if warmth could take

    as if the word might remember
    what it was meant to hold

    but it does not resist me
    does not receive me

    just an absence
    shaped like a promise

    and I—hesitant—
    begin to learn its edges

  2. Wieland Hoban explains #philosemitism in Germany:
    "It’s very difficult to have a general sense of Jews as ordinary people who are part of the country’s population. Many people have an image frozen in time of Jews as the victims of the Nazis, who were the parents or grandparents of many Germans.

    "In some cases, this leads to an over-compensation which means that people want to have a particularly favourable idea of Jews. They make a point of doing what they think is supporting Jews. Including supporting Israel, going on holiday in Israel, or cultivating connections to Israel thinking this somehow revives Jewishness."
