The innocent terrorist

And in the beginning, there was the end

under the rubbles of a roof,

shroudless,

coffinless,

without invisible hands embracing its ashes,

under the rubbles of a roof

cuddling his silent doll.

So, who will seek you out, my little one?

who will recognize you?

when your mother

has been long gone.
