He didn't see hissweetheart Eveline that day because of his decision; but he saw her on Thursdayat the biology class. After they finished, they stood together in the streetand then took a walk till they found a &lt;i&gt;batata&lt;/i&gt; vendor. They stood eatingthe small grilled sweet potatoes in the cold, enjoying their taste and how theywarmed their fingers. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Abanoub told Eveline all aboutTuesday's demonstrations, and what happened at El Matareya Square when he wentthere with his friends instead of going to class.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They went around the square tillthey found 5 or 6 others and then they raised the flag and started chanting.Suddenly, they felt the presence of Security Forces more than before. Abanoubdid not tell Eveline that he was scared; he was scared of getting arrested orbeing beaten to death or something even worse than that. He couldn't evenimagine what could happen. He just stood there chanting, his heart poundingloudly and his voice rising and his fist shaking.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Hetold Eveline about the moment the Security Forces ran after them and he ran faraway to join, as he thought, another demonstration, and found himselfcompletely alone.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Evelinelaughed her squeaky laugh which Abanoub finds so funny. They finished the sweetpotatoes as they walked and he told her how they went after that to TahrirSquare and what happened later on. He told her about when he finally reachedTahrir, it was Egyptian soil, 100% Egyptian, without Central Security Forces orSecurity Police.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Hesang some of the songs the people sang that night in the Square as he walkedher home.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Hetold her not to go down the next day, because Friday would be really harsh –even if her father permits her.

He went to sit with his friends for awhile. They agreed on where to meet in the morning so they would be a largegroup after Friday prayers. He will tell his mother he is going to a class; shewill definitely not suspect him of lying. He could even go to Mass with her inthe morning before meeting his friends so that she would approve of him thatday, and nothing would harm him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Abanoubtold Eveline right before he left her at the corner, "Don't be scared,everyone will go down tomorrow.

So much has happened - so much beauty has come from Tahrir - that I feel we can no longer question it.&lt;br /&gt;Tahrir is a soul that is definitely divine and if you don't believe in divinity then it is the most beautiful of life that I have seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What has been happening since Friday late night and the early hours of Saturday 19th of November is nothing but a betrayal to the Egyptian people, to all of them, those with the Revolution and those against it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) is only continuing what Mubarak's regime has been doing for 30 years. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has not changed its policy. For the past three days it has been killing the peaceful protesters and shooting at them with tear gas, live ammunition, rubber bullets and other types of small weapons - shooting at vital body areas like the head and abdomen. Not only that, but they pick up the stones and rocks which are the only weapons we have to throw them back at the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SCAF is supposedly in control of the country and they can't control the Riot Police? I doubt it. The Riot Police have orders from SCAF and the Military Police have joined in brutally beating the hell out of the protesters to empty the Square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Tahrir still stands. With lesser numbers but with more heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fell asleep on Sunday night during one of my breaks from infront of the television and Twitter. Ahmed, one of my oldest friends, called me and woke me up; I hadn't spoken to him in months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After short greetings I asked him, already sure of the answer where he was. "Tahrir", he said. I asked how things were going. He briefed me very quickly and then said, "I need to ask you something, its very important. I need to know from &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;, do you think it is &lt;i&gt;right &lt;/i&gt;to be here? I need to know from you. Is it &lt;i&gt;right&lt;/i&gt;?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember feeling so drowsy and yet so certain when I said "Yes, it is right. There is no other right. Tahrir is always right".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can it not be so? How can it be anything but truth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Ahmed Harara loses both eyes to the soul of Tahrir, how can it be other than right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the people at the front lines battling the security forces stay there for hours on end, breathing this gas, and keeping ground, how can this be other than truth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the people keep coming in, with food, medicine, blankets, and belief, then this can never be wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pharmacist we bought medicine from yesterday made us a 20% discount when he found out we were going to Tahrir. My sister's&amp;nbsp;colleague&amp;nbsp;tweeted that the cab driver who drove her to Tahrir wouldn't take money for the ride. Someone else retweeted a tweet about another cabbie who wouldn't take money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one wants to go to the Ministry, we are defending our Revolution and our rights and our country. We are defending Tahrir and our right to be there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Tahrir, this is the beauty of Egyptians and this is why we are in the streets today and why we will&lt;br /&gt;remain

Hugged. A miniature of the Twins. Not facing outwards but facing each other. Swimming in blueness. Blue she has only thought of – starry starry blue. Swirling blue. Sleeping blue. Both hugged in blue, hugging the other in the softness of a wall-less womb.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Between them, their curls awoke, reaching for other stray strands to braid with. Braiding and curling silk and rope.

Lower and Lower. Deeper into where should could not swim. It was too shallow. She tripped over the waves. He fell into the pillow of nightfall, she was of dawn. As he sank, he tugged and tore. Her hair flew sprawled around her not used to having no shape.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Her curls straightened in an attempt to float. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Nothing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;She drowned in the shades of the bruises on her body from all the times he tried to carve his name into her skin. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;He is blue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;The music becomes meaningless. The notes of sorrow linked with so so long ago are not his own. He does not own the word. Nor the music. His music doesn’t match the sorrow of blues. His sorrow broke on her skin in kisses with too much love which he did not know where to keep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;She kept it in bottles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Crying her own rain, she stored it for days of drought. Bottled. Mineral. From the belly of her eye. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Every bottle carries memory.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;He is here. He was here. Once upon a memory. Once upon a dream. In a dimmed bedroom in a narrow bed hugging a window. Water bottles almost empty on bedside tables and rolling with a few lonely breezes that pass by, intrusive. She day dreamed of becoming the other twin. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;"We were Siamese twins"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Her dream passed him by. Warmth touched him leaving him shivering. Ovum and sperm did not hold. The Twins never came. There was the endless braiding of hair that never holds in water. Ropes broke once the knot was tied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;The Twins did not come. She did not birth them. She lay hoping they would take shape. Hoping her body and his would curl into each other. Frantic, in a last plea she pushes the babies together. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;They break into red between her thighs. His eyes, waiting for something, peeling her skin, searching for the bones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Showers of blessings. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;She knows the love of rain drops now on her face like she longed for his finger tips. Rain drops are not disappointing. At first there is too little but the thirst is gone. She just stands damp with the waiting. She stands watered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Baraka – too sweet&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;too sweet&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;She stops buying the slim bottles he doesn't like. She stops drinking the sweetened water with blessings from the earth. She pretends fullness to pass his judgment. Sweetness can be found elsewhere. Not just in drops from the belly of the Mother.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Baraka&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;After midnight, under covers of white, through the drapery, the thunder wakes her. She wakes up. Suddenly. Opens her eyes. Looks at the breath rising and falling in undeclared pain and shivers beside her. There are no bottles here to choose from.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;Her toes climb out into the cold, shake the fear out of bed as she peeks into gray.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;The roaring welcomes her in his arms. There is no choice but to go for long desired sweetness. She wavers on the ridge. She has long forgotten the stroke for survival.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;There is no blue.

text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;She stopped using black. It smudged, smeared and left botches that didn’t go away very easily. Some wouldn’t; they just stayed, stains on paper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;She thought that replacing them with lighter shades – grey, brown, deep teal – for her lower eye lid would fix things. It would stop the heavy smudging. If it smudges, it wouldn’t be a black eye.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;One less bruise to cover.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;The heat would make it worse. The smudging would be worse. She looked punk. Punk like Kurt Cobain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"He's not punk" – his voice is cold.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;She froze. She isn’t impressing him, that’s for sure. She looks at him hard but does not really see him; he is a blur of whiteness. His skin is so fair, his hair is so soft. He plays the guitar. He doesn’t like her. So she goes to the one with curly hair like hers. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;The one who like Kurt Cobain just to impress her. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She wears kohl to be beautiful for him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Black kohl.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She doesn’t know if the other colors are called kohl as well. Maybe eyeliner. Kohl calls for black, for softness, for the fluid powder contained and hugged warmly, loosely in the peach bottle.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Turn, turn, turn. And turn. After you're done, tiny trinkets, dots adorn your cheek bones, your pale hands.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Years later she doesn't wear it in the summer hear. Her eyes go pale, light lashes. Her skin bronzed and browned. She meets him, her lover, sweating, shining in the Ramadan lights. The sweat collects between her skin and the linen she wears loose on her body. It sleeps under the folding of her two breasts. Tickling her in discomfort at the cave at the back of her knees. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;When they kiss there is no mirror to see how her body moves in holiness as his yearns in tender aggression. There is no mirror to reflect her eyes – darker than her skin – closed with wonder, sweat heaving on her eye lids.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She spends nights black as kohl looking for the mirror to reflect her longing eyes without smudges. As winter crawls up her legs and warms her heart, she lines her brown eyes once more with brown, grey and turquoise leaving black for days of bigger love.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She wears the one dress she has – black with a pink bow – and goes to where her blood tells her. Every pound in her chest knows he is here. She treads slowly, firmly so her legs don’t fail her. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;He is not there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Yet. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Under the trees – naked with autumn cleaning – she waits as the pink fades into time. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She doesn’t see him but he is there. He arrives only after the black has flowed, smudging and bruising and she has gone off to save face.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;It becomes ritual. Perhaps for memory. Maybe for God whom she ducks in fear of rejection. Black kohl becomes ritual for love.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She sleeps to hide of what grows inside her, of the fear lurking up to choke her with its density. And forgets to wipe the black descending slowly below her eyes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She wakes up with bruises – one under her left eye, one beside her right bigger because of rubbing it till it watered. Both black, diluted and spread in sorrow.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Night black as kohl. She reminds herself of the stars that glow dipped in blackness. She reminds herself of the softness of it as it fell on the rim of the pale pink bathroom sink and she dressed in front of a mirror.

The dark wooden floor boards seem tranquil; they are loved. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Under dust, and debris of days gone past they lie in the steel file holder standing on wheels. Those are the ones that have gained a certain privilege; which she has shown off to visitors, random ones, other than him. Some are out of focus – slightly – and some are precise as the pulling of a kohl pencil between eyelids closed with certainty. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Morning.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Mug of black tea. The rhythm of the cars and buses passing under the windows has a familiar and unfriendly feel in the ears. She opens the steel file holder and takes them out. The ones fate has chosen to be present. She spreads them on the floor boards around her feet. Sizes vary. Portraits, landscapes, the river glaring blue despite the Cairo grit. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;They have no claim on her. She owes them nothing. Will never see them. Yet she rests their faces inside her as she picks them up to place them in the same order as they sat before her interference with the negatives. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Giza. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Memory plays a card and Fayoum – never visited – visits her. Pictures different than she has known flow in front of her.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A morning in Tunis. Women she doesn’t know in a village in Fayoum celebrating the birth of a new day. Morning beauty digitalized and saved for her to see and yearn for. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She plays hers. Out of her sleeve comes her own and last card and she plays it. Without thinking.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She plays in the aftermath of a revolution in Tunis and in the middle of hers. She takes out a Queen of hearts. And loses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Black tea.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Photography leaves through the crack in the closed window. The tea is still warm. She sips as she sits with weight on the only cushion. The ashtray is not needed today. She remembers&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;The art of losing isn't hard to master&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;It isn’t. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;The art of settling into a cushion without shifting for comfort is. The art of forgetting. The art of loving the loss. &lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Tunis&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Fuchsia &lt;i&gt;kleem&lt;/i&gt; in morning Tunis stilled and willed to stay frozen next to manicured feet. The photograph returns as she brushes the other &lt;i&gt;kleems&lt;/i&gt; in her memory with her own feet. &lt;i&gt;Kleems&lt;/i&gt; on wooden floors like wrapping to bars of bitter dark chocolate. She sips again. The tea is still warm. The loss sighs inside her and she tells herself that she has the final call. The Queen of hearts is under her command. Just will it, she thinks. Will it to be anything other than a loss.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Giza&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She stops sipping once she can see the tea at the bottom clearly. At her side her purse lies open. She cringes. Openness scares her now. She moves slowly inside and blesses it with her fingers. Short and used. Green. Sea green. Perhaps teal or dark turquoise. No,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;maybe teal. Or sea green. Names are an unnecessary burden. She leaves the cap besides the mug and stands in front of the glass panes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Shifting she finds the right angel. The sun doesn’t hurt her eyes. First a twirl. Under the left eye. Then they come on their own from the tip of pencil. Its softness new to her skin, old to her eye lashes. She has seen this before and now she sees it in the glass on her face filling with color. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Reflected not refracted.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Cushions.&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;As the day flows from the tip of the pencil on to her face, she remembers the minute details. Crying. Pain. Confusion. Yearning. Wishing to undo it all with a wipe of a cotton pad with baby oil as she will clean her face. His boyish smile. His silence and staring on the floor. The warm hug in front of the mirror. Dark&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;wood framing their faces. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Reflected.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 36.0pt; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;Eye liner&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She keeps the memory of giving it all with the pictures and the negatives. There they stay safe. She doesn't want to lose it in the rubble. She stares at the Queen of hearts, so aloof on the glass panes and nods. The art of letting go is hard to master.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;She has forgiven him. She will forgive herself.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Morning&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-language: AR-EG;"&gt;The sunshine in Giza is not like morning Tunis glowing with Fayoum yellow.

&lt;/span&gt;She learned the big word earlier than the other children. Embroidery. She couldn’t say it at first but knew it meant the beautiful stitching on clothes and scarves: the minute details that seemed impossible to have been born from human finger tips. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Even though her fingers were always so slim and her hands so tiny she couldn’t imagine the effort.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Anything embroidered was always more beautiful, more precious to their eyes. She appreciated what they saw but sometimes, it seemed too much of an act.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Being a plain white blouse was all the much easier. All the same, it helped to be pretty sometimes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;She still couldn’t say it. Emb – and cut. That's where she stopped. She muffled the rest of the sentence as she got older so they wouldn’t hear what she couldn’t articulate. They knew what she meant – almost all the time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;The times they didn’t, she didn’t blame them. She couldn't. She kept those to herself. Filling her growing buds with them and her already wide hips – wider than those of the rest of the girls in school but still not wide enough to be called the f word. Just the O one: she passed the limit of weight which she didn’t know who placed at the first place. Over the limit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;And she couldn’t say Embroidery. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;The hips showed in pictures and the embroidery on a collar or on a scarf tied around her head to keep her curls tame showed as well. But her tongue trouble stayed hidden in the negatives - with her breasts: soft – too soft she was scared sometimes nobody would like them. But then, she didn’t really imagine who this someone would be. Her imagination which couldn’t see fingers embroidering with blue thread couldn’t see someone loving her breasts. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;When her breasts filled up to their most and her hips settled in a shape she loved, she said it right. In the dark, she would say it out loud to herself: slow and steady. Diligent. Like her fingers the first time she came. And when the letters flowed like wetness, she would say it in the light but keep the loving to herself and someone-s else. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;She never thought it would come loose. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Thread also comes. Thread tends to do that – it lets go. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Her imagination found out that there was to be a plural for who might love her breasts. The stitching remained a mystery. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;She had mastered the art of articulation and the art of filling whiteness with the powder of soft pastels. The pictures no more revealed things she wanted to stow. She kept everything open. They started showing her new gained confidence at saying Embroidery. It gleamed in a turquoise earring, a turquoise nail.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Then there was the sea. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;It was by the sea. She wasn’t there but she stumbled on the picture of the woman in a turquoise galabya – embroidered down the front. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;What else could be more right?

All the effort of the tireless hands to stitch and embroider came loose on the bed where she had lain, open and waiting for stitches to perhaps bring them both together – closer. She pulled at the knot like she pulled him – gently but with hope crammed in her throat. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;She pulled.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Perhaps she will know why hands do the act of embroidery.

All I have left is what he left everybody else: a couple of hundred pages bound and sold on bookshelves to get reprinted to sell some more copies with his ache inside, ever swelling on every page and always haunting me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;God, I want to tear my flesh off my bones sometimes when I reach that part. How did he write it this way? Sometimes I ask myself as I go over it, wanting to lick every letter as if it was one of his fingers. How did he know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;We should have seen 1970 together but he left us all a year earlier. He left me even earlier than that but it always feels that he never left. I knew how different we were as soon as I saw him and I also knew that resist as I may, I was going to lose myself in him completely. What I wasn't counting on was that I would drown in him. I sank into his smile, his boyish charm and his intensity which he flaunted around so casually he made you feel it was effortless to be so intense and heavy all the time. I sank so deep if he hadn’t left when he did I would have drowned. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Now, I'm a fish out of water. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I always think of him when I read this Margaret Atwood poem:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;You fit into me&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;like a hook into an eye&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;a fish hook&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;an open eye.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;That's what I always feel when I remember him, how he fit into my body, my arms – my deepest being and how much he scared me and tore me open leaving me up to stitch and stitch wanting to leave his scars. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I had no idea it was that bad. I knew he had his bad days but he never really opened up as I would have wanted him to. I gave him his space to be dark and mysterious and all so beautiful but then what, he left me. He went to live with her and she was older than him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;He took his life in her cave. Not mine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Jesus, I sound so primitive. But it felt like that then. The news of his death went past me and all I could think of was that he didn’t die with me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;When I read the book she wrote later recording his last days and his suicide in her apartment I felt like a guitar so out of tune it doesn’t make music anymore. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Is that all that's left of him? His diaries with her.  A novel selling with the shabbiest biography ever: this is Waguih Ghali's only novel after which he committed suicide. No fucking photograph. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I keep trying to keep an image of him in my head and the one which is so vivid is of that day after he shaved his head. His hair was all gone. The curls I always loved where swept off the floor of a barber shop and it was over. We were over. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;We didn’t even speak about it. We just ended things – as intensely as possible of course but ending on this pathetic calm note. I never told him that seeing his head shaved meant the end of us before he even said he was leaving. I don’t know how and when he figured this out. So that every time I read his only novel  I want to kick him so hard because he knew things about me before I did; he always knew when I was about to cry. Before shedding a tear he would be asking me why. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I read about Ram's love for Edna: together in Cairo and then in London and I know Edna is not me. It isn’t her either, the one he chose to die with. Edna must be a part of the crypts always surrounding him. But Edna is
