Artwork: Stencil by Cake$, *Little Palestinian Girl from Gaza Writing Love With Her Hands*, near Bethlehem University, West Bank, 2023

Poem with the words of a Palestinian girl in Gaza who lost a limb:

she lost her hand
and cannot play
as she could once
before
she cannot clap
with the other children
and she prays—
”Dear God, please
put kind people
in my path”—
but what can
overcome her grief
at such a loss?
