Day by day, the tree's memory unfolds with leaves, roots, and the toughness of the trunk. The leaves fall, leaving their imprints on the ground, rising as dust and toxins. However, the trunk bears the burden of the fallen leaves, carving memories into it and causing it to peel. Year by year, the color of the trunk changes as days swirl inside it. Memories erode it, leaving it darkened and peeling. The roots deny it the relief of shedding, where shedding is the greatest comfort known as forgetting... for..get..ting. Osama Al-Tayeb is a Sudanese novelist with contributions in Sudanese and Gulf newspapers as well as some online platforms. He has a novel being prepared for printing (Migrating Songs).
