For Artsakh

“Blessing for Artsakh” by Marsha Nouritza Odabashian

Our people shed blood
on the arm of denial
on repeat

as if there wasn’t
a genocide
of 1.5 million Armenians

a whole world is looking—
no more desecration
on ancestral lands
the diaspora aches and acts

What ties us
is greater than
what is against us.
