She said:
The end of the world has names.
The first one was called Smyrna.
They told us we have one hour to leave.
We drank our tea,
We washed the cups, we put them in their place.
Then we left forever.
In our sack we carried our way of life.
Then she whispered:
From the second end of the world
We carried only our way of death.
