Pantoum: Iraqi Girls
Too young to be a grieving mom
Too old to be a child
Shoulder length unkempt hair with severely cropped bangs
Saffron dresses with green and red butterflies
Too old to be a child
Abiding commitment to one another
Saffron dresses with green and red butterflies
Sacrifices for the Iraqi people
Abiding commitment to one another
Narrow barefoot paths between sacred places
Sacrifices for the Iraqi people
Arid, barren, hot and cold extremes
Narrow barefoot paths between sacred places
Shoulder length unkempt hair with severely cropped bangs
Arid, barren, hot and cold extremes
Too young to be a grieving mom
