Other roads.
He jabbed my arm. It wasn’t like it hurt or anything. But there was no mistaking it.
Other roads.
What is seen and what is not.
A friendly visit.
A sturdy guard and an open door.
Greater utterances.
Genghis Khan and velvet ropes.
The cheetah and the gazelle.
To whom the rapacious yield in contrition*
A moral compass.
The thieves of Makkah.
A pizza, a well, and some ajwa dates.
The Location of Gravity.
A ceiling in Salalah.
Ill-fitting shoes.
Oud and enchanted friends.
A Methodist, a Muslim, a library, a prison.
A garden unfolding.
