I want to make love, but my hair smells of war and running and running.
Warsan Shire
The refugee has experienced romance, has been touched tenderly, has written love poems, has danced nude, has a favourite colour. Often suffering seems to overshadow all other details of a human being and that distortion strips empathy, creating more space for cruelty, more suffering.
