excerpts from “ALI” (formerly “HAGDAR”)

Of noble men so many earth has bared, / But to the great Ali no one compared.

apocalypse OPENING and ALLAH

Whichever way you turn your heads, there you’ll find Allah.

I love you, Mama. I love you, Baba. I love you, siblings. I love you, cousins. I love you, uncle and auntie.
