Dear Friend,

I write fiction. I live in Europe. I also write for newspapers. I was
a so-called foreign correspondent in the middle east for 15 years.
I lived in occupied territories ( Palestine ) for more than half of
those years. I don't know what to say. I will try and write you a
poem.

She said :
I gotta go home
My foreign pages
are all home pages
by now
I gotta go home
they don't need me
here no more

She said :
Don't worry
I'll be back soon
as a political
refugee.

She was one of the foreign correspondents in the middle east for some
15 years, also. She came from Sarajevo. I believe I first met her in
Beirut. I know she knew what the term " political refugee" meant.

Take care.
