  excerpt from  Damascus amid the War  (M. Imady) --     Pre-war Poems 1-10 1. Spring Cleaning                                           Secretly,                                           I tiptoed into                                           The dark chambers                                            Of my heart,       Swept away the grief and sorrow,     Scrubbed the bad memories out,                                            Opened up the windows                                            And let in the sunlight. ***   2. A Thought It slipped through my fingers Fell on the ground - I heard its cry echo in my mind- Desperately, On knees and elbows I searched for it all day But the thought Had faded away.   **       3. Last Dance Politely, I bowed to my cares And asked them for a dance. Joyfully … I swung my arms around them And danced them away. ***   4. New Hair Style Feverishly mad I unbraid my worries
