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

Kosmatice[1], March 2022

*A small village in Slovenia, near the Italian border

 

Maya, eighteen years old,

asks on WhatsApp whether there are any

women in the house. Because, she says,

they are afraid of men.

 

Peter explains to her there will be

an older gay couple to meet them

and she texts back a ☺ as a reply.

 


[1] Kosmatice is a secluded part of Avber, a small village in the Slovenian Karst
