With my big saucepan
Only as a last resort will I ever
Eat  soup from a can.

but this was no ordinary one

The days when I was very small,
On your lap, ear upon your chest,
Moments like these I loved the best.

Holidays with coastal walks,
Singing songs and having talks.
Shadow puppets on the wall.

At Dadaab you see stolen life
Scrapping saucepan bottoms to live
With tiny waists and twiggy limbs
Sting-less wasps in the camp they are!

The wasted body, shrunken eyes
Tell many poems about stolen life
Life abused, tortured and betrayed
