Contents:

Ever since I did not die
Escaping from paradise
The refugee and the other, the other refugee
I raise your body as a banner of horror and disappointment
How I know the cell
The fighter stripped of her braids
The village crocheter
I do not want to fall in love with her
The test of longing
We finally meet
Borrowing
The ones I've killed so far
The gift that killed us all
Leave your home and build another
The minutes erased from Yarmouk's black day
Who threw the key in the river?
The seller of love and their bed
Ever since I did not die
