In a city, a man dies and all the Aunties who Aunty the
neighborhood reach towards their phones. Their brown fingers
cradle porcelain, the news spreading fast and careless as a
common cold. Ring! [ ] is dead. Ring! Inna lillahi wa inna
ilayhi raji’un. Ring! How sad. Ring! Only a few years after his
wife. Ring! And his daughters? Ring! Three of them, yes. Ring!
Alive. Ring! Ya Allah. Ring! [ ] is dead.
A man dies in a city he was not born in. Murdered. In the street.
(Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.) A man dies in a city he only
lived in for a handful of years. (How lonely.) A man dies in a
city that his children were born in, but a city that will never be
theirs, in a country that will never be theirs, on land that will
never be theirs.
