Mother's day:
Acknowledging all those mothers living in current war scenarios, afraid for their own safety and that of their children.
Vietnam (Wislawa Szymborska)
"Woman, what's your name?" "I don't know."
"How old are you? Where are you from?" "I don't know."
Why did you dig that burrow?" "I don't know."
"How long have you been hiding?" "I don't know."
"Why did you bite my finger?" "I don't know."
"Don't you know that we won't hurt you?" "I don't know."
"Whose side are you on?" "I don't know."
"This is war, you've got to choose." "I don't know."
"Does your village still exist?" "I don't know."
"Are those your children?" "Yes."
