From Alyssa Hollingsworth:
“When I was in-country, I led a small talk on using writing as a way to process trauma.
The next day, C came into work with this poem:
My smiles all changed to weeping without you, when will you come?
My days all changed to dark nights without you, when will you come?
All the mountains are lying down; the ripples of the rivers are burning
Our springs became all full of thorns, when will you come?
The heads are bald without turbans
Look to the heads, all are without hats, when will you come?
There is no bracelet's tinkling sound; all the sounds are from handcuffs
Our gardens are getting empty of guests, when will you come?
I asked him, “Who is it you are asking to come?”
He said, “Peace.”
As of the last I heard, he is trapped in Kabul.
