When Samira met Horus, I knew what heartbreak would come. It happened differently and without poetry for me, but it happened. Like it's happened to so many other young folks. Like Samira, I didn't know any better.
But adult me still sees the scars and my soul cracked again with the same old hurt for a moment for teenage me.
Elhillo wove this story and Pesephone retelling with such haunting beauty. I'm going to read everything by her - I've fallen in love with her storytelling.
