A knife raised 35 Dimmed Eyes 36 Stolen Blessings 37 Sand burials 38 Blood dipped coats 39 , Sons under fire 40 , Husbands sent to the front lines 41
Iron clouds 42 , no longer raining down wonder-bread 43 , nor scattering serpents and scorpions 44 , but rockets .
A career wrestler with a bad hip 45 , we made peace with Edom 46 , and booths to press grapes and graze our flock ,
before it have plagued Israel and Palestinians . They are simultaneous dark moments full of grief in the life of our ancestors and a reflection of the trauma and terror of the Nova attack and the ensuing conflict . Sacrificing of children for the sovereignty of the state , eyes of parents and children dimmed or blinded by grief , the conflicting narratives of “ ownership of the land ”, indigeneity , and blessing of Israeli Jews and Palestinians , bodies strewn in the Negev Sand at the Nova Festival , Colorful rave clothing strewn with blood like Joseph ’ s coat , etc .
