Tom, Vukovar, ex Yugoslavia

plotone d'esecuzione
quando la pelle gela
che sia già inverno?

firing squad
is it winter yet
when the skin chills?

18 November 1991

Tom is a doctor. Tom is from ex Yugoslavia and has sent his haiku on the heroic resistance of Vukovar, where of the 400 who had sought shelter in the town's hospital, 260 were massacred and buried in a mass grave by Serb forces, when these took control of the city, in 1991.(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2988304.stm).
