Travelling Palm
Snapshots
Tamara Chatterjee
France (June, 2024) – We drove a few hours
to the picturesque maritime city of Honfleur,
arriving just in time for lunch. Upon arrival,
I noticed someone meticulously manicuring a
small plant. We watched him tinker through
the original stained glass window, which
perfectly framed the horticulturalist and his
precious herbaceous offering. After lunch the
entire brood wandered up, down and around
the beautiful old port to marvel at the timberframed
architecture, including the lovely 15th
century Sainte-Catherine church which was
surprisingly built by shipwrights, somewhat
evident inside as the church emulated the haul
of a ship.

Gaza water
is dust in clouds
it never speaks
more closely
it never falls as rain
but as a million more
pitted suns
the old jar of death
never empties
