A poetry collection by Bushra al-Bustani.

An excerpt from the book: "Alone, I contemplate the armies that fight me, the battleships clashing in the depths of my soul, and the planes that besiege me, dropping their bombs on my waking heart. I see men slaughtering one another in a garden that is theirs... in a war whose cause no one knows. I see my blood bleeding on the rocks of battles. I remember Dahis and al-Ghabra, the camel, and the bet of al-Samaw'al... Alone, I have been searching for years for a truce, for a round table for dialogue, but I look around and find only myself, defeated amidst the war, while you are far away..."
