I told the young man with violent eyes
there is something I want to ask you
shoot me
I told him take off your uniform
and show me your khaki skin
show me where your heart is
I pressed my lips on his naked mouth
and said kill me I do not want to live
do you hear me
do
you
hear
me
I screamed until I had no voice
and the soldier stared
with his big khaki eyes
I begged him please
please please I want to go away
to that place where you took my children
to the sea of blood and drowning angels
I have a mother too he said
and when the bullet reached him
in the dazzling light I let out a cry
when my heart exploded
