Strike

The phobia of a copperhead strike
is made real by the lunge of a
lawnmower into the brush to shred
the coiling orange and brown with
a screaming whump only to realize
that it was an eastern box turtle
I had set upon.

Once again what I am afraid of 
has led me to destroy what I love 
and I weep, wondering if I will ever 
become one whose perceived fears 
are not acted on.

I did not look to see if the 
slowmover was dead
but I knew. I could see the 
bloody pieces of her
shell scattered across
the lawn.

September 3, 1996

„Rachel Goldberg-Polin is a dual national of the United States and Israel whose 23-year-old son, Hersh, was among more than 250 people captured during the 2023 Hamas attack at the Nova Music Festival in Israel. He was held hostage in Gaza for 328 days before being killed. (…)

All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from non-violence you turn non-violence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life.

Bangladesh on the Backfoot Amid Energy Crisis: Revives 20-Year-Old Myanmar Gas Pipeline Proposal

The Archer

In the high sea of clouds,
in willowing wisps of white,
an evil lurks.

The winds of the world bring
the first whisper of change,
an alien thing.

A dragon.

Red as blood, gleaming darkness,
its armor, invincible?

Heavy metal talons, drooling jaws,
acid falling, burning earth below.

It screams through the sky,
wings creaking, flapping furiously,
breathing flame.

Men flee,
like tiny ants scurrying
from desecration
into it.

Only One holds his ground,
a bow and one arrow
in his hand.

The Prince awaits,
as if to allow the dragon to
devour him.

Then with a flash,
he looses his arrow.

It soars through the air.

Blood gushing,
the dart buried deep,
the dragon crashes to the ground.

Landing on the One.

From amongst the dragon’s corpse,
amidst dying coals and wisps of smoke,
a figure crawls,
stands.

It is the Archer,
the One,
Him.

From the collection “Words at 16 (1983)”

Reminder: it's a war crime to bombard targets in/near built-up areas where civilian casualties are likely (UN EWIPA, 2022), as is deliberately targetting non-combatants (UN Security Council Resolution 1265, 1999) or civilian infrastructure (UN Security Council Resolution 2573, 2021).

In war, these rules apply as much to the victims of invasion (e.g. Ukraine, Palestine) as to the invaders (Russia, Israel). "Whataboutism" is irrelevant. It's not an "accident" when you blow up a hospital or a playground near your target; it's murder.
