Abal *

Her teary eyes peruse the doll

with one severed arm

Abal still plays with her beloved doll

as if nothing has happened

the doll still has an arm

from which she grabs it

fate in the form of bombs

fell in the night of last fall

didn’t select between two girls

Abal misses one arm 

the doll misses one arm

two arms of two dolls

missing in action

*A girl’s name which means wild rose in Syrian
