Asynchronous Love in Broken Arabic
unfinished letter #7
Upgrade to paid to play voiceover
My mother and I send each other voice notes
crossing oceans and time zones
messages sent in the early morning in the west
and received late at night
in the east.
I know we haven’t talked in days,
I might say
I just wanted to tell you
I’m thinking of you,
I just want you to hear my voice
to think of you
listening to my voice.
