The Mall – Market Way

Becoming

by Aisha Sharif

-A Poem for Nick Cave’s Soundsuit

Don’t ever believe
your body
can’t bloom,
too,
your eyes
your breath
your chest
opening
in sun,
a never-ending
trellis
of faith.
Don’t ever believe
that you can’t
climb up,
step out,
and blossom
into your own
beauty.
