SUHAYLA HEPBURN
After 23 days of Ramadan,
I haven’t touched the Quran,
I’m perpetually deducting
menstrual days,
I feel no shame
Yah Sheik, Oh Brother of
high esteem
knowledge
and visual molestation
Oh Great Gatekeeper,
Legging Police,
Fly Away Spotter,
Womanizing Critic,
Brother
when can I become your Brother?
