    my work

    When the people of Gaza have nothing to eat, they fill their bellies with their raw emotions.
    A young Gazan who has lost her sense of self searches for it in the storm of war-scarred memories.
    They said that the sea has been in mourning /  Since he sensed the blood of a martyred boy on his waves.
