if there was no singing, the world would be silent
They call from her hometown, asking if she is dead yet. She has brought shame on her people. They paint messages on the wall of her mother’s house. She is bad. She deserves to be killed.
She says she isn’t scared. She has lived through worse fear. This is the dress I wore when I did my beautiful dance. She holds up the ivory and silver shalwar kameez. This is the dress of freedom.
She always acts according to her emotions. She says music lifts the heaviness from her heart. She says if there was no singing, the world would be silent.
