I just read your piece over at Fikra. The imagery is so very haunting and I cannot even begin to imagine the trauma, pain and loss.

Indeed, the silence of parts of the world is suffocating. Their silence is deafening. Their silence is screaming their cowardice.

I took up piano for a short time in adulthood (2 years on & off). It remains treasured in my heart. Sending warmth your way. p.s. your writing is poetic & gives me inspiration. (you can catch me over at https://lolaslines.com - no pressure, just saying in case you're ever curious).
