Iraq
/ Karbala / Abbas
Within Karbala
is a small shrine with a turquoise-flied dome; it is dedicated
to Hussain's cousin, Owan, who fell with him in the holocaust.
Presently the dome of Abbas glints like a golden onion over the
date-fronds, gardens close in about you, modern lighting appears
and a street with pavements and a roundabout.
