Slam Poetry Nights

POETRY / Love, when you’re an adrenaline junky

And in spite of knowing this/ In spite of the absurdity of it all/ You let yourself fall

POETRY / Love won’t you love me

Break me into numbers and spirals, and blood and flesh make me all that I don't wish to be.

POETRY / On a Thursday on Kazi Nazrul Avenue

On a Thursday, I went back home, and I took a walk./ On the sidewalk, I saw a splash of maroon on a grey block.
