You have made ice out of my heart;/ we were once nothing–you brutalise me
“Stop mocking me, Atif! I am telling you there is something here.”
Words were never my greatest strength/ But the arsonist's child will read them
The only way they chose to do this was probably written or imprinted in our genes–a wild frenzy of carnal expressions filled their faces.
Years later, when I would no longer live in my parents' room and grow to have my own,/ I would disregard all the hours I had spent by the window staring at beetles hiding.
That was the first time in my life I’d smelled charred meat. I could tell it was different from the kind you’re supposed to eat, and my mother had to hold me as I threw up violently on the side of the street.
For once, can love look like a Sunday morning; filled with warmth, calmness and motionless?
Lacerating the unfortified,/ Picking at the flesh for bad blood to find
What happens when your desire Lies in being alive?

His five sons/ Were killed and the books...
