You wrote in ink the weight of silence,

turning hushed rooms into echoing songs.

From Ibuza’s dust to London’s cold streets,

your words carried the strength of mothers,

the long endurance of daughters,

the quiet rebellion of women who refuse to disappear.

You showed us that exile is not only a place,

but a wound stitched with memory and hope.

That love, when bound by chains of tradition,

must still be questioned,

must still seek its own freedom.

In your pages, girls found their names again,

wives stood tall before the storm,

and the poor, the unheard, the unseen

became immortal through your pen.

Now your stories walk without you,

their footprints pressed on every shore.

Buchi, your voice is river and fire

it will not die,

it flows on,

it burns on,

it teaches us to live unbroken.
