betraying at the same time both 
innocence,
and her lack of nutrition.
She is to me Madaya:
that Syrian city
with an Internet connection, 
but no food.
She is to me Madaya:
the child 
who should be getting milk everyday
but instead lives on water mixed with salt.
She is to me Madaya:
for I don't even know her name.
