Behead me if you must

the hijab of death
drapes swiftly over my
face, over my eyes, covers
my head, hides my tears, the
blue skies vanished, the sunsets
into darkness, vengeance's smile
(his breathing grows heavily so)
<it is dark, MOM-DAD, may this>
death restore your honor to this
forgive-less cruel world we live in
oh heaven above please let this be
a dream, let it be a dream, let me
wake up to mamma's big smiles
to the nagging voices of my
brothers and sisters to my
no, my eyelashes brush
against the cloth, I
feel the warmth of
my breath against
this hijab of Death
