Write my name on my leg, Mama
Use the black, permanent marker
With the ink that doesn’t bleed if it gets wet
The one that doesn’t melt when exposed to heat
Write my name on my leg, Mama
Make the lines thick and clear
Add your special flourishes, so I can take comfort
Seeing my Mama’s handwriting when I go to sleep
Write my name on my leg, Mama
And on the legs of my sister’s and brother’s
This way we will belong together
This way we will be known as your children
Write my name on my leg, Mama
Please write your name and Baba’s name on your legs too
So we shall be remembered as a family
Write my name on my leg, Mama
Don’t add any numbers like when I was born
Or the address of our home
I don’t want the world to list me as a number
I have a name and I am not a number
Write my name on my leg, Mama
When the bomb hits our house
When the walls crush our skulls and bones
Our legs will tell our story
How there was nowhere for us to run
Write my name on my leg, Mama
