Sarajevo, March 20, 1996:
The war was over and the city reunited under the Dayton Accords. You could go anywhere, even where before there were "the others". A girl accompanied me to a house in the Grbavica neighborhood, in the area controlled by the Bosnian Serbs. She had spent the 1395 days of the siege on the other side, but she knew that house well. She was serious and silent, perhaps more in awe than worried.
The house was empty, but there were signs that soldiers had been there. We were one step away from the front line.
There was only a baby grand piano left in the house.
She hoped to have news of a friend who lived there, but there was no one to ask. "We learned to play together on that piano," she told me.
Lance Henson, Cheyenne poet, wrote a poem after seeing this photo: “the abandoned piano”. After listening to me, he asked me: "Mario, who are the natives of Bosnia?"
“The abandoned piano”
music is a dark sound
where the sorrow of the world
cannot forget itself
it is a siren lost upon a tumultuous sea
in a time of danger and despair
as sudden as an eye captured
in the forgotten frame
of a photograph
music is a dark sound
yet even hope prevails
even if it is a lone piano
in a war ravaged room
