Your voice is a dream to me

Remembering Srebrenica
Trucks with shouting tannoys
Came circling the town
Protectors imploring residents

Knowing your neighbour
Whom you greeted
Turned upon you

Knowing your hometown
Where your ancestors grew old
To be told you’re a stranger
By a stranger invading your home

The hammock between the palm trees
Waiting for me Continue reading “If I Could Dream”
