a tangle of dark hair atop pale face looking for a smile from
a mother who is too anxious to give any thing the floor is cold
and people wear jackets all in one room - the whole family stuck
there - afraid to go out afraid of the shelling and the guns
two years old and never been outside - in one room all his
life - a life of fear of war and its carnage, a life of not knowing
sunshine or flowers or the beach or the park or grass or trees or
space
When will this end or doesn't it?
1993
