Refugees
What is left if nothing's left ?
The tap loses teeth-blood,
Each empty cup smiles with malice.
We have fallen over the fence,
Our pictures torn, a history in bags,
We walk like a cluster of wraiths
As dull legs trudge over stones.
The old will wither with frost
When the night comes sooner.
And if the children cry in the night
There is nothing more to say
Than that the stars are hungry too.
