Kieran Levi
(petition)
x
He has been wonderfully named
Kieran for his Irish father
Levi for his Jewish mother
But he has gotten sick
With a respiratory disease we are told
Is severe and contagious
Over the weekend, his temperature dropped
From 102 to 99,
Which is something
My brother, his grandfather
Sent us a message with a photograph of
An infant surrounded by machines
If you have a moment and don’t mind,
Please pray for Kieran Levi
Birth might be traumatic
And three months is just a start

The Girl Who Died
It is a miracle we live
On an Earth that cares
When we only allow
Worst magics
Against the planet’s will
Her inclination toward
Sunlit food and love
We counter God
And all the better parts
Because we must have this or that
The blood on it
To ignore
Or kept there as an eldritch
Badge
An accomplishment that only demons
Cannot ignore
At judgment

THE HORRIFYING DEATH OF A SYRIAN INFANT UNDERSCORES THE BRUTALITY OF ASSAD’S SIEGE WARFARE “Sahar Dofdaa lived a tragically short and painful life. With sunken eyes and frail, protruding bones, the famished infant hardly stood a chance. Trapped in a Syrian conflict zone, her mother was too malnourished to breastfeed, and her father too impoverished to afford milk supplements.” [HuffPost]
