PHOTOGRAPH OF A CHILD IN THE RUINS OF HER HOME

It shouldn't matter

if the child among ruins

is from Idlib or Saada;

you should feel

the same about her.

If you don't, if

you first need to know

who dropped the bombs,

on which side of the

lines the child's home lay,

then the only human being

in this situation

is the one in the photograph,

and some inhuman being

is gazing at her.
