“What an anchor she was, he thought, an anchor he did not deserve. She was his rock, his light, the sole presence that has kept him going. And he wished, he wished that was enough for him to hold on to.”

“I Will Rise One Day

I will rise one day and speak it
I, the Kurd, will rise one day
and speak it
I, the Amazigh, your voice
will rise one day
I, the Arab you know
will rise one day
and speak it:
They've gone now, Saladin”

“"Who Remembers the Armenians?"

I remember them
and I ride the nightmare bus with them
each night
and my coffee, this morning
I'm drinking it with them

You, murderer -
Who remembers you?”
