Rachel Corrie Returns, the Poem
By Richard Jones
If you once thought
that when you crushed her bones
and stopped her mouth with sand and stone
murder would bring silence,
then think again.
If you once counted
on distance in time and space
to wear away the memory and in its place
leave blank acceptance,
then think again.
If you once believed
that your great lie could hold
back the tide until by virtue of its growing old
it could be taken for the truth,
then think again.
See how proudly she breasts
a merciful sea,
defiant of your tanks and jets and mines,
laden with the best in all of us,
full of love for Palestine.
