POETRY / Escape

You thought you had escaped, didn't you? / Outran everything that weighed you down

POETRY / Mould

A quiet, seniority in its touch, / A tenderness that feels like it's meant to last

POETRY / Memory speaks

Sometimes at early dawn / You overpower my eyelids / And won’t let me wake up

KHERO KHATA / Bluebird’s anthology

Who do I tell, sir? The walls do not listen, The roads do not answer back

POETRY / Will you remember me?

When moon fades into dawn and when I pass away with it / Will you think of all that I was?

Poetry / Tupperware cake

1 and 3/4 cups of sugar, 2 cups of i-love-you

Bulb of a Wonton Shop

It is enough— Enough to be here, Beneath the bulb of a wonton shop.

Out of Body

I know of my feeble frame of its graying at the edges.

I carry them openly in these calloused hands and hold them out to you could you tell me I'm worthy of love

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

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