Tawahshnaki

The title is Moroccan for "we missed you." Me and my heart miss you, and your absence has been long. Where are you, light of my eyes: do you remember me, or has your absence kept hold of you? Tell me. From the sky and from the earth I will come to you, and I will find you wherever you are. A bridging verse shifts to Egyptian: you have stayed away too much, we need to live our lives and finish what we started, you know what is in me and you have the medicine, the smile on your face is what is in your heart. We want to come back to you, he says, whatever it takes, and he apologises that circumstances were against him but his heart stayed with her.
