My poem ” At Idomeni to the village of Chamilo” will be published in the Poetry for Refugees Anthology in May.
For a moment I thought
I had found a new home
I was swathed in blankets
and given some food.
I hadn’t eaten for days
gaunt and cadaverous
I made my way to the refugees camp
as the sun cracked through the darkling clouds.
The Red Cross crew tried their best
to rescue a woman’s baby before
hurrying to a man having an epileptic fit
in front of a hundred of us refugees
For a moment I thought
I had found a new home
scrambling for way past
EU’s closed Balkan door
