Alleyways
I grew up in a row house
with alleys in the backyards connecting houses
We used the alleyways for hide n seek,
they were always full of children's laughter.
They have alleys in Palestine,
do the children still play hide n seek?
Does the bougainvillea still climb to the sky,
are all the alleyways char and ash?
In Gaza do the veiled women gather
in alleyways to keen and grieve?
Are their cries muffled
by the sounds of war?
Is the only noise in the alleyway
silence?
