Paratext Text Departures Sarajevo Airport 24 October 2011
Notes This poem's reference to the 'slender cusp' of Islam (being akin to the crescent moon) is potentially an oblique reference to the Bosnian Genocide, during which Bosnian Serbs massacred Bosniaks Muslims in their thousands. The location of the poem as being Sarajevo Airport, in Bosnia, is itself significant.
