My life has been a series of abortions
I could never express myself
My songs were stillborn
And even the child inside me, Lotfi wants me to abort
This child…I feel it has taken root in me
I feel it bringing me back to life
Bringing me back to you
I hope it will be a girl
I’ll call her Khedija
—Tunisian film The Silences of the Palace/صمت القصور (1994), directed by Moufida Tlatli
