Disappeared for two days

Ola Alrantisi

 

My 8-month resilient boy feels hungry

Our fridge and pockets emptied

My 28-year resilient husband worried

He is wandering in the scary city

Looking for bread crumbs

Under the heavy bombs

Hiding in a gloomy place

Biting his nails covering his pale face

Thinking of his grandfather

Disappeared in 1948 but never returned
