Sniper


Mum gives Tarik a hug
Don’t cross the Square
It may be further via the church
But it’s safe. You’re not in open view.

And tell him, Belma sends her love
That might be worth an extra loaf or two
I know he has the flour still
And while you are there
Ask him, What news of Ivan?

Mum gives Tarik another hug
And whispers a short prayer
Go now, she says
And do not cross the Square
