The treasured oud ..

We had no time for coffee - 

Your taxi's here Ahmet said - 

I sat behind the driver - 

This was a taxi for midnight journeys - 

I caught a glimpse of The Atlas Barber Shop - 

I remembered Richard's story of the lovelorn boy - 

The boy playing a treasured oud - 

The mobile phone propped up on the barber's chair - 

The girl in Beirut -

The music joining soul to soul -
