Afeefah Khazi-Syed QUOTES

1 " never forgetting to
return to that place
in time, holding the
hands of his own kind

This is Where
The Story of You
Began "

2 " I haven't seen you in a while,
but today I was told you prayed for me.

And I prayed for the olive oil
when it slipped
from your hands
onto my scalp,
aching strands of hair
in the drought of being without you. "
