I thought this was beautiful and it resonated with me in a big way.
I've been seeing Gaza and I've been seeing what's happening in India and it's like watching a train crash (it's about to go over the edge of a cliff in Gaza, and it's heading towards crashing in India). Maybe the climate change one is seeing a train carrying on over a precipice, momentum is keeping it in the air and I can see that the passengers and driver haven't realised that there is no more track.
Words often fail me and you have captured (with words!) how my words and senses are currently failing as I see what's going on in the world.
I'm of Indian descent but don't live in India - i was born in the land of the colonisers with mostly only the colniser's languag. A reminder to see the world with different eyes (different words and sensibilities) is always appreciated. Also, that poem is a gem!
