Warsan Shire «Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth»

Здесь не будет отзыва, потому что мне нечего сказать. Только две цитаты.

I hear them say go home, I hear them say fucking immigrants, fucking refugees. Are they really this arrogant? Do they not know that stability is like a lover with a sweet mouth upon your body one second; the next you are a tremor lying on the floor covered in rubble and old currency waiting for its return. All I can say is, I was once like you, the apathy, the pity, the ungrateful placement and now my home is the mouth of a shark, now my home is the barrel of a gun. I’ll see you on the other side.

In Love and In War

To my daughter I will say,
‘when the men come, set yourself on fire’.
