— have you tried the peat over here — yes. i have tried all of this peat — i do not think you have tried this peat. if you had tried it you would have remarked upon it — i have tried it — you would have said, "this peat is as salty as day's honest work, and as sweet as the first sip of vodka past my lips at sundown" — is that something i say? — yes. you say it all the time — i don't think i say it all the time — yes, you do. and you would have said it when you tried that peat — let me try it again, then — oh, now he's interested — mm. wow. ok — you're not going to say it? — say what — you know what — it's nice peat. no strong associations

Refusal in the genocide by Omar Sakr

He walked to the gate

Accelerant in hand.

I can’t make this beautiful

I hope you understand.

His voice was clear.

He tried to light

The spark of his life

Several times.

I’m stuck on his fingers

On the catch

On the flash

On the free

On Falastin

Screaming

I don’t need a poem

I need a fire extinguisher

But oh god

Nothing can quench this light.
