80 years ago

I was a toddler when the British bombers tried
to find the airport, they didn't but dropped bombed
on the town of Stavanger instead
I was sent to a farm that happened to be next door
to a German camp near where the Russian 
prisoner lived
The German soldier let me sit on their gigantic
and feed scraps to the Russian prisoner 
When the war ended, I was sent back to my mother
I saw courageous men dragging women out of their 
houses and shorn of hair
They were the ones who had slept with German
soldiers
