Darfur on my mind

Darfur on my mind

 

As I flicked through my photos

seeking the image of myself pointing

up in the air

in a flooded not so dry riverbed

In Oure Cassoni, Chad

The other side of Darfur

Where near Bahai

The Camel Pastoralists

Cross from East to West

North to South

And vice versa

In the midst of snow storm

My mind wanders

I worked in that refugee camp in 2006

20 years later

A whole generation has seen nothing

But the camp

It matters where your crib was

When you were born

Clearly it does
