A Vision

This Iraq will reach the ends of the graveyard. It will bury its sons in open country generation after generation, and it will forgive its despot . . . . It will not be the Iraq that once held the name. And the larks will not sing. So walk - if you wish - a long time. And call - if you wish - on all the world's angels and all its demons. Call on the bulls of Assyria. Call on a westward phoenix . . . . Call them and through the haze of phantoms watch for miracles to emerge from clouds of incense. *** Amman, 8/13/1997 ___________ Translated by Khaled Mattawa
