On Yugoslavia, 1989-1991:
When I was making an official tour of Yugoslavia in
December 1989 (13-21 December 1989) I heard dire prophecies of bloodshed. I was
back in Bosnia
in November 1991; on my return to London, I wrote this poem:
My birthday. Sarajevo .
The war is getting closer.
This year Yugoslavia :
Next year, and thereafter?
I walk down the Mall,
Ready for another mission.
The gardener glares behind spiked railings.
He's sick of raking up dead leaves,
Looks ready to pounce at a passer-by,
To engage in random conversation.
No-one has time to talk of flowers.
We're all ready to pounce, with pistols blazing,
Fences, railings, count for nothing-
We recognise no borders now,
No sovereign or civil rights
Where minarets and mortars meet.
