Syren Song by Keenan Teddy
“Winter fog remembers our country; exile abandons beauty
I find forgotten queens in mama’s eyes
Shadows and daybreak fight a war
and misfortune glitters green in mama’s eyes
Our uncle says she practices a deranged kind of Islam
I pray with no scarf and gather yasmeen in mama’s eyes”
ghazal for Mama's eyes by banah el ghadbanah
“Winter fog remembers our country; exile abandons beauty
I find forgotten queens in mama’s eyes
Shadows and daybreak fight a war
and misfortune glitters green in mama’s eyes
Our uncle says she practices a deranged kind of Islam
I pray with no scarf and gather yasmeen in mama’s eyes”
