After Deborah Ajilore

Mother said, "shield your cleavages from the claws that sit on men's eyes only the man who completes your ribs owns the sight",

"don't let your skirt crawl above your kneecap glistening thighs like yours are very easy to breathe into a man's libido"

"beauty should be a dark magic — hidden", she said.

But on the day a plunder crumpled by dignity, I wore my hijab with pride like those girls in Saudi Arabia.
