A Woman Is No Man

by Etaf Rum

She had no idea what life had in store for her and could do nothing to alter this fact.

her body carried her worry like an extra limb.

But she shoved these thoughts away, saved them for another time

‘What’s meant for you will reach you even if it’s beneath two mountains, and what’s not meant for you won’t reach you even if it’s between your two lips’?”

“You have to have a home first to be uprooted from it. You have to know what love is to feel alone.”
