Syrian Family



They live in caves,
The dust of their ancestors
filling their lungs,

covering each day 
with alms from the past.

When will we 
join them?

They must have thought
as bombs exploded
around them.

When will this dust
mingle with our own?


*In Syria, people are digging out
ancient graves in the hillsides and
living in therm. Safer to live underground.
