The Babies in the Refugee Camp

A haunting portrayal of childhood amid war, where wounds become tools of expression and loss becomes a way of life.

The war said to the children,

by giving the crayons of wounds,

“Now you can draw.”

They drew a long red line.

cutting through the middle
page of nothingness.

Then it asked,

“What’s this?”

“This is our ID card.”

One said,

While on his one remaining leg.

The camp was a school

in an unknown locality.

Children’s cries was the rooftop.

For it stretched their hunger. 

Don’t ask the name, country, or home,

For those concepts are unformed

At the time of entering the school.

The body parts,

which may be lost at any moment,

are not carried along.

No one’s left

in the hide-and-seek of break time.

We always walk

with a piece of land

in which we’re going to be buried.
