Noor Hindi, from DEAR GOD. DEAR BONES. DEAR YELLOW. ;“Pledging Allegiance”

[Text ID: “I’m locked out of my home. No, I can’t recognize my home. I grabbed the wrong keys. The house has been painted a different color. There is music inside but I don’t understand the words. There is smoke inside, but nothing is burning.”]

Sappho, from If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho; tr. by Anne Carson

[arabicdunya]

وتخجل أن أضحك، تخاف تأكل أكلة هنيئة، إتخجل أن نخون حزنهم ولو بالراحة في النوم

And I am ashamed to even laugh, and afraid to eat and enjoy a good meal, and worried that I will be betraying their pain and tragedy, even through a good night's sleep.
