Tonight We Die as a Family
by Mohammed El-Kurd
At the hospital the nurse is startled
a surprise visitor: her husband's corpse
on a stretcher
he arrived in the backseat of a taxi–
a makeshift hearse.
There are not enough ambulances in Gaza
and more than enough death.
She is livid. Men never listen
I told you wait till after my shift
I need to tend to the wounded first
I told you tonight we die as a family
