“Unwinding the white strips from our bodies, we let our sadness float to the ground. Women kicked their heels above their heads. Men twisted and flexed. In a whirl of laughter, wild notes, and hallelujahs, we shook and cried. Cried and shook. The fiddlers took up their instruments again and committed to furious bowing, sawing at the strings in a frenzy.” — Jabari Asim
