By Sakeena Amwaaj
Existence stamped onto
flattened prison.
Fluid bloodlines dried
into lines invisible
on land. Lines prick us
without our knowing,
weaving fortunes
weaving curses
upon generations.
Sakeena Amwaaj is a pen name, used because of the political climate in both the United State and the poet’s home country.
