If the novel is an imaginative inspiration for events that actually occurred, and the diary is the actual documentation of its writer’s vision and view of the events as he experienced them, then the text of “An Incomplete Piece of the Damascus Sky” goes further than a marriage, but rather is closer to the dissolution of the arts into each other’s details. Poetry and prose, a fictional novel or the diary of a living being, details for each person and a generalization that does not concern anyone. Crying is like loud laughter, at a sentence that surprises you despite the expected context, but that exceeds every possibility proposed by your imagination.
* Ahmed M. Jaber - Al-Arab newspaper, London
They themselves
Those on whom the plane threw its deadly gifts were waving to it when they were children.
They pray for rain
And they die of thirst.

You are additional scarecrows for the birds
You guard the wheat
And you frighten the birds that seek to sit
No chrome theft!
You guard the wheat
My brothers
But you go to sleep hungry...
