| Paratext Text | In memory of the blond boy from Srebrenica shown on TV news just before the massacre. Also in memory of all the boys and men of Srebrenica |
| Notes | The paratext makes the context of this poem explicit. This poem addresses the victim in the second person and recounts the anguish of his mother who tries to imagine what he witnessed and what his dying words were. There is an explicit reference to forensic archaeologists from the U.N. Commission identifying his body through DNA, a reminder that he was buried in a mass grave. |
