balconies we build walls to draw in the horizon we lay roofs to bring in the sky we open windows to let time pass by we craft doors so we can touch the world we create balconies to set ourselves free
I declare myself a deserter
I declare myself a deserter I want no army in my house, I want no army in my back yard, not on my block or in my streets I want no army in my homeland. I declare myself a deserter, a conscientious objector, an enemy of death from armed conflict, an enemy of the institution…
