ayeeyo macaan
af qoyani hadal ma daayo – a living mouth does not give up talk

whilst my tongue is still wet
and soul lives through me
i’ll tell you what i can insha’Allah
and it’ll stay between us and these four walls
– ayeeyo
she tells me my secret name i must not utter to others
she tells me the way of life
she tells me about the homeland
she tells me about the sun, sea and sand
soil i now want to escape to, after witnessing the fruitful land i come from.
the leaves that gathered to listen to her tales will continue to whisper her words through the storms
it isn’t really true that it’s only four walls
it might be four gates at the park we pass through
or the three in her mouth keeping the rest of the words that one day i’ll never receive
when the time comes that i expand our secret walls and pass her advice through myself,
i hope i do her justice
by Allah’s will i hope i do her justice.
