Personal Call

Hello?

Hello.

I just wondered

what your middle name

was.

My middle name?

Yeah.

I haven't got one,

actually

I've got a confirmation name

but

that's not really an official name

and

that's Mary.

Oh

same as mine.


Alright, Susan.

Thank you.

This is her

Names have power,
so let us speak of hers.

Her name is Sharbat Gula,
and she is Pashtun,

that most warlike of Afghan tribes.
It is said of the Pashtun

that they are only at peace
when they are at war,

and her eyes�then and now�
burn with ferocity.

She is 28, perhaps 29, or even 30.
No one, not even she, knows for sure.

Stories shift like sand
in a place where no records exist.
