Gaza
https://youtu.be/Yda-c_4agZA (saz)
it's impossible to comprehend what is occurring in Gaza,
impossible to think through the violence and destruction,
through the continuous cruelty. we don't think clearly,
perhaps not at all, impossible but occurring, absent here
but there, but continuous, but incessant, what is to come
everywhere our abject fear, our fear is safe _here,_ it
is our fear to own from _this_ distance, this safety.
we did years ago have ongoing discussions on email lists
set up for that purpose, war, violence, testimony. now we
have our _safe nightmares_ as cruelty spreads everywhere.
perhaps everything falls short of weeping, of our safety
here, perhaps not. inside we were napalm not real here
we are irreal bombardment, accounts, disasters, bodies,
limbs, massacres, children, infants, so many civilians,
we have the duty here now of _thinking inconceivability_
to respond with art, music, writings, analyses, otherwise
than _there,_ in different words _here_ and not _there,_
the safety of the aporia, the moment of the trench
adjacent to the cusp. i contribute this long-necked saz
piece, i am useless, we watch the war inside of us, we
survive in the safety, for now, of our bodies, our minds
elsewhere, no where at all, the world inconceivable, lost
