Notes	This poem explicitly references missile attacks and shelling of Gaza. Although not specified, it is likely referring to renewed warfare in 2014 between Israelis and Palestinians. The poet-speaker contrasts his calm and comfortable Sunday in his Donegal home, to the frightening situation of the Palestinian people. There poet-speaker appears to question whether a poem is an appropriate response in this situation.
