From my SojoMail today:

God the Synecdoche in His Holy Land
i.m. Rachel Corrie
by Linda McCarriston

Around you the father gods' war. This
Father. That father. The other father.

What more dangerous place could
A woman stand, upright, than on that sand, as if
She were still antiphon to that voice, the other
Mind of that power. The very idea!

Crush her back in to her mother!
Crush her. Crush her. Consensus. War.
