For
dVerse MTB. Bjorn has invited us to do some blackout poetry. I used
a book I am currently reading, Stone Crossings, by L.L. Barkat. This
particular page/segment from her book brought to mind the the film
The Stoning of Soraya M. If you haven't seen it, it's gut-wrenching.
Honestly, I couldn't sit through all of the stoning scene.
