When there is beauty inside bad news

<FOUND POETRY>

“Parking lots have sprouted
outside each kibbutz;
as reservists mass
for entry into
Gaza, their hatchbacks
with toddler seats
gather
the dust of days.”

  1. I read the article, then came back to read this again. You certainly found beauty. I like the story of the lady serving coffee at the end; unbelievable strength and calm.
