Aden

January 2, 2010

My husband was on a plane to Aden,
not Eden as they lead me to believe.
A clean shot to the head, my pilot dead in Yemen.
It’s a revolution of killing politicians, blaming Palestinians
but the riots on the streets mean little to me:
I am a silent widow with a baby living in Bremen.
