Hama=Homs (Part I.)


Defiant Syrians Speaking Out About 1982 Killings

I.  The walls have ears
For many years
We would not speak of it
As if lips sewn shut ,
Tongues ripped from their roots,
Wordless beasts of burden.

Streets  emptied of our fathers
Brothers and uncles pulled from their homes
Husbands dragged away,  disappeared
