Poetry – Milan Šelj – War is different when it has a human face

Women and children are leaving for the west.

Men returning on their own to the east.

 

Everyone is heading in different directions.

All of them on their way to the unknown.

 

I don’t know anyone from the footage,

but I recognise every pair of eyes,

hands on the glass, a child clinging

to a worn-out teddy bear,

a scared cat and a panicking dog…
