about

One of two poems written in the aftermath of the Kosovan war of 1999. This is based on a real story told to me by a Kosovan refugee who fled to Albania.

lyrics

Two men travelled the Kukës road
in the migrants' spring of '99.
Assault rifles level, a band appears
of informally uniformed men.
Mehmet offers a round thirty grand
to save his skin, but dies.
Habib has but 20 marks to give.
He escapes
(with only a small beating around the head).
Thanks God, that life is so cheap.
