Nightmares fly past windows in Tehran, Gaza, Doha, Tel Aviv.

Shadows of buildings that once were

Sound stops. Air pushes down.

Rockets make paths in the grey darkening sky.
\nWe hear them, mourning the sounds of death.<\/p>\n
Drone arias bomb without rhythm. Who writes their song?
\nChooses their prey?<\/p>\n
Who dares walk outside? Your mother informs you that
\nsafety will come another day.<\/p>\n
Footsteps crash on the stairs; voices call out in alarm.
\nWe step back, deeper, away from the walls.<\/p>\n
We hear them, mourning the sounds of death. Who dares walk outside?
