Reality crashed yesterday
Satire became news
Fruits tasteless
A murder of crows hanging on wires
Facing a big white screen
Movie buffs
Fans of 80s snuff
Cheering for death by assassination
It felt like Beirut on a specific summer day
When fire rains and drifters play
I must have lied when I said it was my last breath
It must be August
The air is heavy
It’s loaded with lead and drama
Crashing waves dance to the rhythm set by the broadcast journalist revealing the tragedies of the day
It was another last war
A short episode of another last conflict
Before the sea decides to finally take over
The fleeing tourists and crows are gone now
Left behind are the seagulls
Confused but finally alone
Proud kings of the coastal dump
For a moment there Beirut felt like a William Turner painting
And the sea was getting away with it.

- Charbel Haber, May 2025.
