"A voice is heard in Ramah
lamentation and bitter weeping
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children
because they are no more." *
Weeping
Weeping
Weeping
Longing to hug
Fear of forgetting
seeking flesh-warmth glass imprisoned.
flesh of my flesh
blood of my blood
screen printed image looked on with love.
Child centred, covid centred,
childhood disrupting,
mutating and forcing to future unwritten.
weeping for the children
God weeping with us.
Weeping
Weeping
Weeping
*Jeremiah 31:15
