LIVING DEAD TAPESTRY
 
Bosnian mothers have been giving birth to daughters for generations 
which keep away from the lustful and smelly bodies of the enemy. 
And they give birth to daughters, 
who are thrown away into the swollen waters, 
due to fear from the maddened eyes of their fathers. 
So again during a lunar eclipse, 
in the deepest layers of the night Bosnian daughters, 
on the banks of Bukovica, 
they weave a handkerchief for a loved one, 
while prayers are boiling from the lips: 
The stars will write a better destiny for us then when we leave this world.
