"In my culture, we know death intimately. In Arabic, the highest expression of love is the phrase "ya'aburnee" Translated "you bury me" . It means "I love you so much, I'd sooner die than bury you". It was used by mothers in our lineage who were so used to losing their young in war. In my culture, we cannot talk about love without speaking death's name"

-George Abraham, "Untitled," Published In Black Napkin Press

“With my breath I fan the blond disc of sun. My eye collects the exultation of men. Their stammering lust prowls around me like a beast.

I shall not let you live. You! You weaken me — I shall kill you. You fetter me.”
