Counting snowflakes will not help me sleep

Counting snowflakes will not help me sleep
-for the fallen, and those yet to fall in the Israel-Hamas conflict

Bring me slow horses 
and hot cocoa. Give me
the God of twenty-seven degrees.
God of snow. God of rock
salt shining on the road...

I love the sparse language and clear images this poem delivers. The emotion resonates between the lines, rather than in the words, which makes it more powerful. Well done!
