Be calm, you say to me. Reminding me that you are still there. What will be tomorrow? I don’t know. Forgive me, for I can not speak of tomorrow. But today I am still here.
Translation from German: Maxmarie Wilmoth
Ali Ahmade (*2000)
The poem describes his thoughts about his mother before he gets on a boat in Turkey. He does not know whether he will survive the passage to Greece.
