This body
That you see
Is not me

It is merely the veil
Which I put on in the morning

Look into my eyes.
Do you see
My soul?
a woman's hijab is her body, which accidently masks the true beauty of her inner spirit by trying to contain her

come here and let me care
no ***** that I didn't mean it
you know I'm coming there

oh how could anyone mistake you for shy
a guy, too good for you, ****** how
you ******, was this not the plan all along
you deny, why play coy with me?
Don't I know you best. I do.
How could your intentions be anything but what they are.

Sweet
You lie! Half-hearted here I could never be
you'll see! I'll be good to him more than you could be.
I'll love him with kindness, with gentle kisses, with patience.
I expect nothing more than he's willing to give. And if he comes softly to his knees then I will pray with him, so help me God to be good.

Spice
You preach to the choir, but all you care about is under the robes
I follow your irises across the stain glass, red, oh I'll pass on purity
Prepare me some plays to rehearse in my head
You're in bed. Admit to me why you lie here not sleeping.

Sweet*
You tease like you talk, temptation doesn't knock, it pounds
on the door like a never-ending hail, but I do not seek your demise
here is why, because I do not need to cut your ribbons, only race to lace them down, I hold him free, love him for the friend he'd always be
And you can't stop me from loving what I already loved before he was mine. This time,
Listen, we both want the same thing.

Spice
Bells ring, I sing four in the morning, you can't hold this down, you're as high as a kite, you want to bite, you want to ****...

Sweet
***** you!

Spice
No let's ***** him, not me my dear. We can heat up his world, awake that part of him he was resolved to let rest for the best of reasons.

Sweet
Resolved, no lust will ruin this for me. This is love-- I will wait, I will be kind, he is God's alone and hardly anything he does can make me mind! Any faults are forgiven by me.

Spice
You don't even know them yet! You idealistic thing! I bet, the faults will shake this faith you have quite soon. And swoon, you fall by the wayside, with no one to pick you up!

Sweet
Trust me, it'll be alright, stop fighting with me just because you're afraid of getting hurt! We're a ridiculous flirt but we're honest and honesty means hope and hope means

Spice
We haven't given up?
...
But will he like us?

Sweet
He already does. Both you and me. And perfect love casts out all fear.

but there is nothing to lose in trying.
There is everything to lose in absence.

I imagine it was about a year ago
When another group of enthused college students
from a prestigious university
gathered all their resources to buy necessities from the dollar store
cheap as they come,
to give to the droves of men, women, and many children,
living in the rolling hills of trash and rotting refuse
down in Nogales

you know, the ones the government ignores
and that,
when you ask about them, the police deny exist
and turn you back down the dirt road from where
the poor teem and forage for survival,
camouflaged in their make-shift bedrooms and kitchens
of discarded plastic, wood, and tin.

Tonight,
I am just remembering that moment when we reached the
bottom of our bags
and had to turn a family down
because we didn't bring enough toothbrushes.
