POETRY / October: An unfinished poem

Glamorous lightweight raindrops  from the October sky keep 

POETRY / Silence

A star fell on the ground in the windy night

POETRY / Republic of the dead

As if playing a game of chess / Still the world waits for the next dawn

POETRY / Birth of a poem

Hark! / Busy work of Hands

POETRY / Carpe diem

but i can't. i cannot be bothered to find / meaning behind the faults in my father's eyes

POETRY / My heart's longevity comes from my maa's magnifying kindness

Maa, you are an endless exhibition / of sweet-sour happiness

I heard they are changing the dictionary

I heard they are changing the dictionary.

When the streetlights flicker, think of revolution

When the streetlights flicker, think of every doe-eyed child that the city swallows

POETRY / Anger and other blessings

A walkway through the crystal-clear lies

No longer eighteen

like a caterpillar cocooned into its shell undergoing metamorphosis—growing up sneaks up to you whether you want it or not

Modern graveyard

We have built a civilisation / of sky-high buildings, / of concrete cities, / of disconnected communities

A means to an end

go further than/ what the hills have seen/ through their ice pick scars

A Dead River is All I Want

You know those instances when we start off in the wide, turbulent currents of a river making its way downstream?

In the absence of a light source

Grief is a lonely river, like a fisherman's song with an empty net

How to exist

When there’s a lull in the air, I get the feeling that I’ve scraped the bottom of my fleshy insides.

A childhood memory

Dust patterns have gathered around my landline phone, huddling around the maroon. my fingerprints take some dust off of it, and they rejoice.

Je chilo amar shopnocharini

You called me close in the moments of grace/ Veiling my delicate senses

Shedin dujone dulachinu bone

You know how that day the wind brought out/ The crazy thoughts I had in me all the while.
