أوجعتني حينما خلفتني وحيدة ! ألملم شتات تساؤلاتي وأبحث عن رغيف فرح ، تتشبع به مشاعري الذابلة من بعد فقدك أفلت من يميني مودعاً وغادرتني بين طوفان الذبول .. تسألني عنك الأماكن والمقاعد ! تحدثني عن جنونك تلك الوسائد ، ترقب ملامحي كل تلك الوجوه ، كلما توارد إسمك ! خبأت وجهي بين راحتي الصمت ، حتى لا تخذلني أدمعي حينما تكسرني تساؤلاتهم بإفترقتما ؟ ↗

I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science, and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist, whatever that means. ↗
