thru barbed wire her gaze clings to the border /suhni
behind tall mountains 'did my son make it across?' /sprite
inside the refugee tent a lifetime of memories and one photo /carmen
clutched in weathered hands the application for asylum /suhni
more and more forms to be filled in a foreign language /sprite
an aid worker loans a pen tears stain the paper /carmen
