Liberated

Written during Fanny Starr's lecture...


We were liberated by the British.

The Americans, they bring doctors. They bring food. They bring water. They bring medicine. They bring trucks and jeeps. They talk and they cry.

The British, they bring nothing. Not even clothes.

I ask one for food, and he turn his back on me. He get into his jeep and drive off with other soldiers.

I cannot eat freedom. I cannot wrap myself in freedom.

We wander in the street, the forest.

We do not know where to go or what to do.

It starts to rain, and we open our mouths to drink.
