What words can we or I add to your heart wrenching cry, dear Deena? Only to say we have been here before and not learned, not then, and not yet. Only to quote the epigraph ("I will take with me the emptiness of my hands/What you do not have you find everywhere " by WS Merwin) and a link to words of a poem i offered after the Lahaina fires, not so damn long ago, too soon to have forgotten...and yet... https://poets.org/poem/somewhere-everywhere with love, margo
heart beats heart stops stops stops beats stops. no words.
body activation, heart beats, heart breaks, tears come and the awe of life continuing with it. thank you.

I am just sobbing having read this poem and seen this image and imagining all the ways I am complicit in this tragedy.
hard to give a ♥️ to a painful story.... but to the poetry... yes...
Thank you Deena.
I love you, Deena
Thank you Deena. This is beautiful and heart-wrenching.
