Some far country she speaks from,
she was born there, can never go back
nor will where she lost.
Everything. The earth rippled
waves of the sea she tells.
Then soldiers, beat her and used her,
burned her house, broke everything.
Her man broken, her children, how
to get out then, the airport broken,
the ships. Suddenly again
the interrupted carpentry, the wheat,
the young trees and the apple
stopped in the blossom. Her complaint.
