Letter to my Beloved Nephew
I can’t imagine a life where you do not exist. I do remember the time before you arrived, and back then my eyes were not trained to see light. You must have been somewhere then, just waiting. Floating in a ripple-less sea among the stars shining as bright as they do. With metallic scales and half formed flesh, eyes shut and a mind frozen in time. Before your mother plucked your star from the sky and held it against her belly, and so you fused harmoniously. Spending seasons knitted into one another. And finally we were so lucky to witness the birth of a star and welcomed you into our home.
my Qasim, the star.
