In my culture, we know death intimately.
In Arabic, the highest expression of love is the phrase
“ya’aburnee” Translated “you bury me” -
It means “I love you so much, I’d sooner die than bury you”
It was used by mothers in our lineage who were so used to losing
their young in war; In my culture, we cannot talk about love
without speaking death’s name

When will I stop belonging
to this hungry thing inside me?What no one ever talks about
is how dangerous hope can be.
Call it forgiveness
with teeth.
