I was in kind of a hurry when I restacked, but I just wanted to say how much I love (and understand) those lines in particular. It’s always wonderful to see such a perfect articulation of an unarticulated (or hard to for me to articulate) thought.

I love this *so much*. 3 especially:

The only word that comes close is ya’aburnee,

the Arabic word meaning “you bury me,” meaning

please let me die first so I never have to live without you.

Just... wow. Thank you ❤️
