    I shall carve the name of every stolen plotAnd where the village boundaries lay;What homes exploded,What trees uprooted, what tiny wildflowers crushed.All this to remember. And I'll keep on carve=ingEach act of this my tragedy, each phase of the catastrophe,All things, minor and major,On an olive tree in the courtyard of my home.
