Unaware of the power wielded
through the letterbox of her hijab;
Stars pour out at the questions fielded,
a butterfly chase for boys to grab.
Inspired by a grade 7 student at my school who has the most stunning eyes. Whenever I see her, I’m reminded of the girl who was on the cover of National Geographic (below). It also makes me consider love and attraction in other cultures.


She became an icon
