"Her tears were not for public consumption, she used to say. (216)"
— Fadia Faqir (The Cry of the Dove: A Novel)

"A single slim trunk
Branches that bow in a storm
Green, leathery leaves with a soft centre
Glittering against blue sky
White bark scarred, bleeding
Heart wide-open
Bandaged, but upright she stands... (225)"
— Fadia Faqir (The Cry of the Dove: A Novel)
