7. Jordan
It is the silence of the night desert that remains with you.
Deep in Wadi Rum,
The stars swallowing the sands.
Until the surreal moment,
When a company of Jordanian foot soldiers
Materialises from the north,
Clanking along in the night cool.
Assalamu Alaikum!
Then fading.
Into the startled moonlight.
