Borderland Poems

Echoed a sound lasted, I heard, an echoed a sound lasted

...

...I stand between worlds, neither here nor there,
Feet planted in Eritrea, yet Arabic fills the air.

Lament For Ukraine

...They suddenly barged in their tanks and trucks
Covered in various armaments of war.
Their vehicles droned, piercing the silence,

 On a grateful corpse

 In the bog her murmuring
 The echo of a cry
 Travels on the plaintive wind
