Morning on the Road

Submitted by martinfrank on Sat, 01/04/2025 - 11:46

In memoriam Shaban al-Dalou. He was a software engineering student at Gaza's al-Azhar University [Courtesy of the al-Dalou family]

Shaban al-Dalou

In Memory of a Comrade

What was I doing then? Tying sheaves,
Or maybe weeding,
When you were also crawling across the field,
Where every meter was scarred by shrapnel.
