Broken bridges don’t burn
face to face, 20 taka in my pocket and
this keyless map
do you think love ever ends?
28 February 2025
Sighs, ember and lies.
Pebbles strewn pavement
Keep drawing me back
28 February 2025
Moving forward
I hope you fight with your mother when you have a migraine, / I hope there's a holud ceremony playing item songs right beside your building
28 February 2025
This world is full of paper
at night I look past my window / moon like a bruise hoisted on the shoulder of onlookers / as they draw their curtains
28 February 2025
Titled 'Loss'
you don't recognise yourself, / everything is lost like a fish in Lethean space. / you have mistaken truth for love again

There is a point to this, I think
Here are a few things I learned in the one month we haven’t spoken

Hilly river
Imagine it’s raining cats and dogs
The hilly river has let the hair loose

I’m but a butterfly
I’m but a butterfly, not a bird;
Why do I want to soar high?
7 February 2025
The melted melody of a surreal life
Tell me, how far you want to descend
Into your own abyss?
31 January 2025
Exit wounds
Tell me
I am not a house without exits.
Leave

Tupperware cake
1 and 3/4 cups of sugar, 2 cups of i-love-you
24 January 2025
Will you remember me?
When moon fades into dawn and when I pass away with it / Will you think of all that I was?
24 January 2025
Diamanté
I jump from ship to ship, / fly dangling from the claws
of a huge bird in the sky / till my toes scrape mountain-tips.
17 January 2025
Reserved winter kiss
Where there's no scent of mother, but only a sweet sense of comfort in the touch I remember the warmth of my mother's lap

Kafka says
It’s been so long since we last spoke that I don’t think I can talk to you without confessing something.
There you were, standing before me
10 January 2025
The shabby turtle without a shore
Some label you a poet of love so true
27 December 2024
Of longings, of belongings
Women and the earth have to tolerate a lot.
–Kaajal (1965)

Healthy water-bodies are sunk by envy-blind waste’s outburst

Inventing love
When Anne Carson said–
All lovers believe they are inventing love,
she was perhaps right

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