Arafta -Between the lines

he designed it like a countdown.
187 days to destroy her family.
187 days to walk away clean.
what he did not design
was her.
what he could not plan for
was himself.
arafta gave us the fire.
this is the smoke that stayed after.
a collection of missing moments,
quiet confessions
and everything that happened
in the spaces between scenes
written by someone who felt too much
and had no choice but to write it down.
