Coffee Cake

Man, Palestinian flag, Smoke image. by hosnysalah

I sit at this shelf

At the coffee house I know

With singed images in my mind

Of babies in Gaza

Faces on fire and torsos exploded

With cold tea I sit

And eat phosphorus sugared coffee cake

As patrons behind me laugh into the void
