Whenever she loses a child
to the arcades of sickness,
to the basements of dungeons,
recruited for the mills of war,
or to the wilderness of exile,
she picks up the prayer beads of her chronic diseases
adds merely another bead
an olive pit.
silently,
in the quiet of Afrin
she cries for them, another winter.

An elderly lamppost it was.
He did not know what mission to hold to.
Sometimes
it confirmed to the rain its fears:
Nobody rains you, indeed!
You rain
You’re the rainer!
Occasionally
it warned the fog:
Apparently you have no shame before the moon!
You’ve been foggy so far!
You’re the curtain,
you,
the bird!

Cat food is colourful
a little bit hard, crunchy.
He does not even touch it.
From the floor
He licks up a spoonful of homemade yogurt.
With a sweet meowing
he chants out some slogans.
