Dubai Bus Stop with Burj Khalifa in the background
As the sign says
“Dubai is…
A map that gets updated every day.”
One afternoon, the Burj Khalifa is there and the next morning …
Burj Khalifa blasting off into space. Photo by Mojo in April 2012.
It blasts off to parts unknown.

Dove in Seyahdi House in Muharraq Bahrain
One day I’ll become what I want
One day I’ll become a bird
that plucks my being from nothingness.
As my wings burn I approach the truth
and rise from the ashes
I am the dialogue of dreamers
I shunned the body and self to complete the first journey
towards meaning
but it consumed me then vanished
I am that absence
The fugitive from heaven
pg. 11 from Murals by Mahmoud Darwish
