“Tulips Stand for GOD”
Chapter 4
His mother’s name was Georgia.
She gave birth to her youngest on the Izmir port.
She was watching the Greek army ships leaving.
She was waiting for them to come back, to take them to the mother-land.
The city behind them was on fire.
She was watching.
She was waiting.
She was giving birth.
The Greek Army ships never came back.
She was still waiting,
And watching,
And giving birth.
The British Army ships picked up the refugees.
They crossed the Aegean Sea.
They arrived to the mother-land.
She was breast feeding.
With her brown eyes wildly open,
She was watching.
She had a tall, thin figure.
She was a long face girl, just like me.
