It is dark tonight
In Gaza
~
Even sanctuaries
Are cold
~
The air
Feels
Like stones
In ancient ghettos
~
The power
Of one
Simmers
Like a disgruntled
Chunk
Of kryptonite
No Superman
Cape
Visible~
Not even
The handshake
Of a white flag
~
But while
Ignorant
Rocket powers
Mess
With eternity
Ordinary
Walkers
Kindle light
In phoenix wells
And parade
Stars
In their
Thousands
Upon
Thousands

In response to Gaza City plunged into darkness - BBC News - 20.01.08
Gaza City was plunged into darkness after the plant's turbines stopped.
Israel's closure of border crossings amid continued rocket fire from Gaza has brought the delivery of almost all supplies, including fuel, to a halt.
But Israel, which provides 60% of Gaza's power, says the territory still has sufficient fuel stocks..."At least 800,000 people are now in darkness. The catastrophe will affect hospitals, medical clinics, water wells, houses, factories, all aspects of life."...Several thousand residents staged a candle-lit march through Gaza City after the blackout...Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Arye Mekel said the border closures were intended to apply pressure to the Palestinian authorities to stop militants in Gaza firing rockets at Israel.
