In the last human hour, I start to build a poem as large andÂ
Weird as love. It cannot save us and still I am rushingÂ
To usher every spirit to live within, toÂ
To usher every spirit to live within, toÂ
Join in, to laugh, sweetly, at all that has transpired.

Did you know violins can shake the earth? Such sweet vessels, tiny planetary throats. I was sent an orchestra. They made music a sorrow, a soaring that shivered the dirt. I followed the notes to a barbarism. The composer said he created the beautiful hour as a space to think about war, and I heard my mother's name, a dark cascade of her, I saw again the clamour behind her manner, her harrowed glamour; I am claiming all of it now not as a violence, but as an inevitability, always justifiable.
5. Sakr's use of metaphor & language is absolutely unreal.

Nothing about this poetry collection was necessarily bad, I just didn't feel anything while reading. perhaps i wasn't the target audience for this book and maybe I just don't understand Omar's perspective, but i didn't gain a whole lot from this book besides two or three good poems.
