'A Gay Girl in Damascus' has been kidnapped/abducted. This was her last post:
BIRD SONGS
The bird flies free
Knowing no boundaries
Borders mean nothing
When you have wings
My heart and my soul
Long to follow and soar
Out over mountains
And deserts and seas
I have no wings
And earth presses in
Wrapped in a sheet
Forever to lie
Weighed down by dirtclods
Never to feel
Wind on my wings
Sun on my back
Soaring and flying
Freedom is coming
Here am I wanting
To know it one day
