“I remember Lebanese summers. Balcony doors open all night. The breeze always cool. Falling asleep to the barking of stray dogs fighting over scraps of food. Waking up to the roosters’ crows.
Learning to differentiate between the sound of an Israeli sonic boom or an actual bomb. Learning that my heart can stop for a second and I will continue to live.”
J.E. Safa, “Seven Hour Layover”
