The Situation
-Tova Gardner
When she goes to meet her brothers and sisters
they’ll run in the road
after the sun
setting, leaving
one hundred tin houses
the dust rising.
Years ago, where young people danced
a man came hating
and blew himself up.
I want to speak of our pain.
Same day, a woman with no teeth handed me a peach
I bit into it
but could not bear the ripeness.
