The sky above Baghdad<\/p>\n

belongs to the stars,<\/p>\n

the birds,<\/p>\n

the wind.<\/p>\n

Not to airplanes.<\/p>\n

The sky above Baghdad<\/p>\n

is a poem.<\/p>\n

A PHOTO GOES ROUND THE WORLD<\/p>\n

The man on his back<\/p>\n

looks into the sky<\/p>\n

without seeing it<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smiling mouth<\/p>\n

fine-looking teeth<\/p>\n

dynamite in his hand<\/p>\n

he is dead<\/p>\n

Name Bibi. Age twenty.<\/p>\n

A perpetrator. A victim.<\/p>\n

A murderer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Explanations<\/p>\n

necessary or inevitable<\/p>\n

people talk of<\/p>\n

punishment<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He died for justice<\/p>\n

his father says<\/p>\n

for a better world<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The poems are illustrated by the painter Rima Al-Juburi, who shares a story with the author: both of them were born into Muslim and Christian family arrangements, and both now live in Vienna.<\/p>\n

Rima Al-Juburi, born in Wels, Austria, in 1968, grew up in Baghdad. After studying architecture at the University of Baghdad she moved to Vienna, where she lives today as a freelance painter and art designer. She established the arts and crafts studio “Seven Eyes<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
