| Paratext Text | International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia The Hague May 2009 |
| Notes | The speaker of the poem reflects on the souls of the 'legions of the lost' (from the Bosnian genocide, most likely), floating along the bike-tracks of the Hague, in the Netherlands to implore the living Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia for justice. The Tribunal sought to convict those most at fault for the suffering and death caused by conflicts after the break-up of Yugoslavia. |
