"Time of death: 3.48am. Stop the clocks. Silence the pagers. Shush the beeping machines around us. Tell the ambulances to go on mute. Calm the whimpering babies rushed in on donkeys or in neighbours’ arms. Stop the drones gnawing overhead. Quieten the bombings nearby. Allow me this stillness, please. Bring out the ebony veils, fetch the white lilies and let the mourners come"
