I don't hope for hibiscus


​the first time I was given a cup
of flower essence it was hot,
unsweetened, red like lovers
clotted in my veins. slid down
the column of my throat
like a thread to mend the
ruptures. its steady tartness
replaced my blood, flushed
free every time I blushed so
you could see me. the first
time I was given a cup of flower
essence its sour revived me from
reverie loosened me from trance,
from storms I’d rehearse daily.
I woke up a drained riverbed,
damp and sifting for silt.
I woke up my love a different shade
darker than the bottomless color
cupped in my hands darker
than the hollow of two bodies.
I woke up and chose mud over blossoms
oxygen over rain clouds. this slow healing
over hemorrhage.

every morning
I untangle prayer beads
knotted while I slept.
 
I set dislocated beads
back into spine
       back into snake
back into my grandfather’s hands
 
pull them along a string
of story            goats we raised
​ourselves and slit vertical at Eid;
                     kites we pushed
from terraces;
        clothes baked in half by
​Bombay sun;
             and this river of women
in which I fall       into trance and
                   rhythm.

              clap-lunge
                              clap-lunge
       
clap-lunge-whirl

during festival
which is always
if you pay attention
to the moon.

my fingers fumble the spaces
between artifact and excavation.
 
clicks like gallops of fate
clicks like generations
what we pass and what
we save until wilting.
 
every morning I untangle
messes of prayer beads
wound round my throat
borrow slack from tightrope
and grandmother’s
drawstring

billowing skirt
and mountain passes
purple silk I tuck into
when valleys turn abyss
and names of God
​routine.

Murgiwala

You do what you always do. Everyday. Unaware anyone would take special interest in it or in you. You choose a chicken. See them all fly and land, fly and land frantically. Clutching at the metal grate with yellow, flakey toes, pointed nails. Hoping it’s not their cage you open. One from the middle. You reach in and a storm of white feathers covers your hair and get stuck in your beard. You grip the chicken by its legs, place her against your chest, cradling her in the crook of your elbow and with the other arm smooth out her frightened feathers, standing on end. The feathers calm into soft slickness, and so does the chicken. It’s as calming for you as it is for her. She trusts you. And until, and even after, you slit her throat you care for her intently. Now you prepare her and yourself. This is your journey together, after all. Khuda gave you both life, gave you both sustenance, gave you both your time and you must honor the breath shared between you. You have the same mother. Siblings bound by earth that permanently stains both of your bare feet. You place her back in her cage and she understands. You tie a stained apron around your waist. You wash your hands, methodically, under Rihanna bhen’s null, whispering the fateha and looking down at your carefully cut nails that you scrub vigorously each night with an old toothbrush. You wipe the blade, set it on the small wooden lorry. You slowly draw her back out of the cage, wrap her in white cloth and extend her neck. Plucking clean the feathers on her neck. Bismillah irahmaan iraheem. A precise, quick incision. Blood drips down into the bucket you’ve placed below the counter. A jerk. A gargle. And her head loosens, submits, and a cloud dulls the bright black of her eyes. The next part is mechanical. A customer approaches you on the curb. You take an angled blade and ease off the feathers, plucking with expertise, moving against their lay. You wipe the bare, pink body with a damp cloth. You take what’s whole and undo it, to be sold off in limp, wet segments of a former self. You reach in and pull out the beating, the cleansing, the circulating parts, the working parts. The parts that helped her run, peck at seeds, make babies and warm them until hatching. The insides of her in your hands. You tug and carve until she’s hollow. Quick slices at the joints, between the breasts, thin alongside the ribs. They stand in the street as you work, fat and fluid dripping down to your elbows, watching you clean and discard, clean and discard. You pack a tight parcel of cellophane and they add it to their bag filled with namkeen and black market whiskey. You wash at stains in wood, in concrete, in flesh, as a ritual more than to forget blood. You put your topi on and push your lorry down the gully to your home, just in time for maghrib namaaz. You repeat this day 7,300 times. They call you Murgiwala.

Roadkill Altar

rust-red birds.
dug from clay
and cycled blood.
the color of
iron-rich cities
exhaled by trees.
the color of…
slashes in maps
by derelict diplomats.
made from the strut
of goats up
Jabal al-Madhbah.
dipped in tomorrow’s kill
and yesterday’s slaughter.
wings splayed and molting
ripe for Return
to earth
to tragedy
to unforeseen loss
to spilled guts
on the side of the road.
less pretty than the owl you
peeled off the highway asphalt
with all its feathers intact
and displayed between
crystals and candles.
The owl that sees beyond
the deceit and masks
of colonizers
and flew into headlights
anyway.
which is kinder:
an altar
or an open-air
slaughterhouse?
with the slow grind of nose
and beak back into gravel.
and a slit between
the Dead Sea and Gulf of Aqaba
that will never fill with water.

Worst Case Scenario

when the mourning doves
return without their babies
my mom accuses the air:
maybe they were eaten;
maybe they fell out of the nest
and couldn’t fly; maybe they
were crushed under
a calloused foot.
her imagination runs
only in one direction.
when I was a kid
it used to take me
two hours to eat dinner/
chase it in circles around
my plate. they would accuse
me with their forks:
lost to daydreams.
I think back then my dreams
were wide, liberating,
expansive; I think back
then I imagined strange
and delightful possibility.
my imagination ran
like spokes of a wheel
in all directions.
I see the way she watches
the world as if it’s
about to collapse, is
collapsing under her feet.
and her with no wings.
I close my eyes and watch
the backdrop of my mind:
jasmine bushes shrivel, sun
eclipses. and cycling are
a series of daymares. snapped
bones and collisions.
the mourning doves fly and land,
fly and land. peck at seeds
littering the ground, propelled
by their necks. chests puffed up
when they’re cold.
they glide low to the earth
to the tree across
the yard, their wings
fanned into a kaleidoscope
of white and gray.
and when I don’t
come to the window
they dream of me
hand in hand
with my mom
like a summer day.

The Drum and the Violin

What drumming called
my curves to your bamboo hands?
What fissures in oblivion 
entranced our lineages
to lay down?
Here. Now. Semi-solid. 
Between midnight
poltergeists. String accompanists. 
Pocketing shooting stars. 
What thickness is
stretched translucent
over steel frames?

I dare you to strike
me with the softest
part of your open palm. 

Dha Dhin Dhin Dha
Dha Dhin Dhin Dha
Dha Tin Tin Ta
Ta Dhin Dhin Dha

I promise
I’ll preserve
your drying hides
with my cries. 

And accept
there will be more. 
More rhythm.
More surface.
More out of sync
lovers with bowstrings
snapped in half.
​
​
​​​​

Naseeb

I collect
my destiny:
fragments of
misplaced earth
and sky.

I collect 
a conspiracy:
skin and
carcass
of beings 
with deeper roots
than I've known.

I collect 
love known:
I squeeze
the shells of
severed synthesis
wondering how
eternal
their watering.

I collect 
my wake:
entrails of tactile
teachings
always both. 
Both supple
and shriveled.
Both soft belly
and hardened
magma cover.

I collect 
the bark of trees
in limbo, begging
release.
I become
a taxidermist
and revive their
life with my hands.

Understanding
my fate
is to break down and
apart
to fall
lose my way
scrape and bruise
as I tumble
be torn
from everything
I know as home --
be a lesson
in my undoing.

I am less and lighter
than tree bark;
dangling in mid-air
will soon make way
for descent. 
​



Centipedes and Other Childhood Demons

I don't have to dig 
for these secrets;  
they wedge themselves 
into damp cracks 
beside me. 

This festering nursery 
for poems; 
so far from the sun 
I forget grace 
has many forms.  

I steady the weight 
of this world 
across 100 legs, 
brace witness against 
the most repulsive touch. 
His predatory fangs 
lift and seize. 
Slow poison 
quickening her 
nervous system for  
a lifetime.  

I am no longer 
the most frightening thing. 

Could I weave her 
a silk pillow to protect 
her from future nightmares? 
Or journey with her 
to warmer days? 
Where life exists 
eventually. 

I let drop  
the insect from my grip 
choose to gently starve until 
we can share a dream 
of solitude 
together. 
Or until 
I use phantom 
shadows to become 
a scorpion and avenge 
her childhood at last.

Fajr
​Naazneen Diwan



During fajr namaaz
wrists turned in
toward my diaphragm
I carve my hands
into daggers
pry open ribs
get close to my heart
warm it in my palms,
plugging leaks
and calming hiccups.
match arteries to lifelines
tell it: we were always meant
to meet like this,
on the seam of day
when crickets give way
to dawn chorus
proclaiming we’ve survived
another night.

​You’re the only girl in the muhallah that rides a bicycle and you do it with joy and intense pleasure. Your papa taught you to ride when you were five years old, taking laps around the apartment complex. Later he taught you how to change a flat tire and repair a broken chain. By age twelve you could build a bicycle yourself with a handful of tools, a frame, two wheels and a handlebar. You are your papa’s only child, a daughter, the only pair of hands that could embrace the lineage of permanently greasy finger nails. Your ami grew tired of scrubbing your salwars to no avail, re-braiding your unruly hair, and attempting to make you presentable. You, you grew restless whenever you weren’t riding. 
Today is a day like any other day. You wake at 5 a.m. and can’t wait to greet the brisk air and the empty streets. Before the daily errands, before delivering the parcels to the post office, getting milk for the day’s chai, before going to the sabziwala for okra, potatoes, and green mirchis, you take a ride to witness the rare stillness. You visit Victoria terminus, no taxis lining the station’s entrance, no rickshaw drivers rushing to usher arrivals to their hotels. It’s a pink silhouette in this light, the perfectly shaped stone stacks an architectural feat amidst the cracking Bombay foundations. Immense, ornate. Triumphant. Every detail exuding grandness. Every detail measured and intact. Delicate circular windows tucked under rosy cobbled arches, verandas that stretch from one ear of her calculated smile to the other, two seated lions with luxurious manes and mouths agape, domes and peaks with spires piercing the soft flesh of sky, and in the very center a woman cut out of white marble declaring benevolence and superiority at once. Precise and symmetrical, you can’t help but see what others found so endearing in this building and its builders. But you like mess. You like frenzy and chaos and unpredictability. This relic is too pretty. You hear your papa’s words, tinged with mock gratitude, “Us Indians would still be riding elephants if it weren’t for British trains.” You bring your eyes back towards the horizon, towards where you live, where the earth meets the sky. 
And where the sky meets the sea. You coast along Shahid Bhagat Singh Road towards the docks. The Gateway of India. A doorway big enough for a fleet disguised as two British royals with polished bones for crowns and scopes for eyes. Why did they need a gateway, you think, why the formalities when they never thought twice about ceremonious invitations? When they landed. When they dropped anchors on every shoreline. When they imprisoned your people in their own Lal Qilas (Red Forts) built to house rebellion. Homes turned hostage. You wonder how they turned your hands against you. Took the long sinew-flinging fishermen’s arcs and the powdery touch of red sandstone and forced them to carve a welcome and an allegiance into their own chests. You jump over the barrier and run to the very center of the archway. You run your fingers along the latticework, poke them through the Islamic floral cutouts and stand back to watch the sun slits invite the sea into the cavernous space. Just like Jama Masjid, you think. Their hands found a way to build a lasting image of something bigger than the British. And bigger than you. Grace. 
You ride along the stretch of Marine Drive towards Haji Ali. Lovers flock here when the sun tones down its harsh judgments, sleepily tucked into the covers of the sea or setting into a sky now reigned by distant suns who can’t be bothered to throw light on illicit kisses. Taxi drivers pulled to the side of the road, chewing the first paan of the day, gathering the sweet, bright red juice in the pockets of their cheeks. Neither the road nor teeth can be scrubbed free of the stains. You peer at drivers flipping through copies of the Mumbai Mirror past the new action thriller that unites megastar Amitabachan onscreen with his son, the many questions the Sexpert fields about maintaining an erection, and a leopard on the prowl, yet again, on the Powai campus. 
You pick up speed toward your final and most favorite spot on your morning pilgrimage: Haji Ali. The green chiffon orni you tied at your hip flies loose and gets churned into the spin of your gears. Oh shit, you think. Ami is going to murder you! This is the third orni this week. You pry out a shredded end, tear at the cloth with your teeth and wrap the remainder twice around your waist with a secure knot. You watch as Haji Ali soaks in the glow of sea and sky and blossoms warm sienna. The sun pays respect, positioning its praise behind the call of the minaret, now a lighthouse for travelers drenched by storm-risen waves. You lay down your bicycle at the beginning of the footpath, almost entirely bare of the constant current of seekers. You unroll your salwar legs, brush the city dirt off your kurti and take the long walk towards the dargah.  The fragile thread of land lined with a few vendors spreading their wares, juice Kakas setting up displays of chikkees and mangoes, and beggars hoping to stir ir-Rahim. You think of especially windy days when white foam readily swallows any trace of this path, sand gathered from ocean bottoms built to connect the profane to the sacred. Like a vein returning again and again to its Source to be purified, exchanging depletion for oxygen. The longing is deep in this city for Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs alike, to escape duniya, even for a few hours, and step into the middle of the Sea into the arms of the Beloved. You stop in front of your favorite juice stall and ask for juice the color of the sky. The juice Kaka takes a massive blade slicing a watermelon in half, opening its fuchsia belly. Coral chunks of cantaloupe crushed into the blend, pressed through a sieve. Coolness floods your insides, carves out an inlet from your throat to your stomach. At the entrance to Dargah Sharif you buy a basket of gulab petals from the caretaker sheikh, smooth your orni over your hair, and rub a hand over the silky, marbled doorway. And immediately you’re surrounded, you’re overcome. Every window is an invitation for the believer to call upon, to be, to live one of the virtuous ninety-nine names of Allah. Colored glass shards sewn together spell: Al-‘Ali … Ash-Shafi … Al-Qadir … Al-Akhir …You stand fixed in front of Al-Rashid, one on an illuminated path. And you look down at your hands and see them glowing green. There is no separation, you think. Allah is my guide and I am my own. I am all these selves patched together, messy but whole.

This is the story of my clit intact. Of how I escaped the butcher mother, aunty, family doctor. Of how I sought pleasure, felt pleasure, unflinchingly. Of how pleasure was extracted from my five year old self; how I too am a survivor of patriachy’s efforts to cut us down, but not of the knife. This is the story of an almost circumcision and the confusion that surrounds how I was spared. This is part story and part letter because violence never happens in isolation; it is a dialectic. And I exist and survive with some scars and missing others because of all my relations. The only daughter and youngest child. The first born in the U.S. When I was born eight years after my brother, reinforcements were called from India; I let out my first scream with a full head of thick, black hair in October and by November, my Dadi and Jiji[1] had moved in.
I grew up in a household of three watchful mothers. A father who insisted I keep my hair swinging below my waist. An older brother who I never shared a school with and endlessly followed around until he moved out. And still, with all those eyes, they couldn’t protect me. Age five was the first time a white boy-soon-to-be-man bullied and lunged at my malleable self-esteem and body. I tried to speak the pain but my family of eyes hadn’t yet grown ears adept enough to hear me. It wasn’t until I began college that I could string together accusations and they sent me to a psychiatrist. BBC and NPR tell me khatnah is performed from ages 6-8. I wonder, if they had known, would they have vowed to defend me from others’ desires and channeled their guilt into slicing apart what he was after? Will our bodies always be found to blame for men’s heedless, reckless grasping?
And it is here that the relentless stream of questions takes over. Was it my dad, my ally and best friend, who calmed the scalpel out of their hands? Did not getting cut secure my seat around the kitchen table as an honorary son, one who could talk politics and poetry, enthusiastically sharing my subscription of The Economist and devouring every Khalil Gibran book he lent me? Did the exclusion of the women in my family, one I participated in, make me an agent of patriarchy? Did I help erect a pardah between intact and fractured? Did I enjoy being an exception?
Or was it merely logistical blunders that saved me, the dizzy of new immigrants trying to find ground? Was it because my mom was working 40+ hours a week and taking night classes, and couldn’t find a moment to schedule the cutting? Was it that I was born with my father’s temper, super strength tantrums, and they didn’t have enough people to restrain me? Was it that they knew I’d end up with a trans man, no chance of disgracing them with a pre-marital pregnancy? All I have is speculation, guesses, made-up reasons that diverted me here. With the clit I was born with. Having sex without pain and wondering how and when that became a luxury.
My biggest questions of all are for the women who survived, the ones I never sought out until now because I never knew this practice existed. It wasn’t until I was well into my 30’s that I found out about khatnah in the Dawoodi Bohra community,[2] though I didn’t need more fuel for my resentment towards the religious leadership. When I read now in media interviews that khatnah is “common,” I want to gather and grab all the women that grew me, elders and ancestors, who declared I will inherit this smile, this gift, all the ones I never met but especially my mother. And the sisters I grew up with who also inherited secrecy, just as I did. Secrecy so tightly woven into our genes that we have to resuscitate our vocal chords to even whisper the truth. Even as I write this, I think of how much I have been told to keep, hold in, and with every sentence I fear I am betraying my family. But it is worse to betray what can heal me – my voice. Women are too good at holding secrets, most of all from each other.
Mothers, was there even a bit of pleasure when you conceived us or did you pray that it would be over quick? Sisters, does it become easier to follow our mothers’ orders to clench and tighten our legs, in our foolish hope the wound will one day close? Do you wish it closed and to not exist at all? Does every other part of your body become numb to guard you from the injury that we non-consensually inherited? Are all dangers averted now, after the cutting? Does the woman who strapped you down in her living room, donned gloves and stocked up on gauze, become your pediatrician? Are you forced to call her aunty? Are you saved now from sin and critique or will they find more ways to surveil and charge you? Is this your final punishment or initiation? Do you ask yourself when screaming into your mother’s neck and being carried to the car, if this is the consequence for stealing that nail polish from Clare’s or refusing to finish the Quran with your dadi? The next week at school, do you wonder if anyone feels the agony of loss oozing from you, a part of you you never fully knew missing? Is it age 25 until you finally look at it again and 27 until you talk about it with sisters of the knife? Do questions ever end their torrent and do any witnesses to the crime against you offer answers to soften the swelling? How has this trespass fortified you for the task and joy of raising your own daughters? Does it ever get easier to forgive?
I couldn’t tell the story of my exceptionally loving, enlightened family, because all families love and all families hurt. I love my family and this love can exist in complexity, in disappointment, small and large betrayals, oaths of loyalty that stuff the truth in childhood trunks. Even though they chose to not pass on this tradition to their only daughter, only granddaughter, they did choose to stay in a community that perpetrates and validates misogynistic violence. I could fault them, but what choice were they given by white supremacy: to be ostracized in every direction? We all need some place to belong and sometimes, after traveling continents with blisters and vertigo, we settle in imperfect company.
And there is a mandatory epilogue that must follow. I find it sad that I cannot critique my Bohra Muslim community in peace. Without the fear that predatory Western media and imperialist voyeurs might sample a sound bite to bolster their case against the formerly/currently colonized, the Third World, Islam. I find it sad that Dr. Nagarwala,[3] who was an adult-sized pawn of patriarchy and misogyny, one that runs deep and can still carry on with one minion down, will be the scapegoat. I am enraged that girls, mostly young, are the ones caught between pious Bohra men and triumphant Western saviors, with neither capable of seeing them as human, as whole.
I don’t know what healing looks like but I do know it has nothing to do with the rituals burned into my body when I die or where I’m buried. Maybe healing begins when we cease judging ourselves, blaming ourselves, fixing and measuring ourselves long enough to let maghrib fall in a blaze of magenta and crescent moons and jasmine fill in the cracks of our memory. Maybe healing begins with the next generation. Or maybe it begins with this next breath.

99 Names: excavation of the heart

3/22/2018

0 Comments

 
I am working on a collection of poems and illustrations with my father, Shabbir Diwan, who is a trained fine artist. 99 Names is a series of 99 poems, each corresponding to one of the 99 divine aspects of Allah. The collection seeks to blur lines between sacred and profane, between pious and blasphemous, and between spiritual and corporeal. As a queer, Muslim, woman, a feminist and a runaway academic, I take the religion I was raised in and reclaim it. I infuse themes of heartbreak, illness and disability, sexual pleasure and transcendent love into these poems. At its core, this collection seeks to uncover the empowering truth that humans were made to imperfectly embody these divine aspects and to queer Islam and dogmatism in the process.  ​

Making magic in my dad's basement studio in Ohio. Modeling for our book project collaboration, 99 Names, featuring my poetry and his brilliant ink sketches. Its precious to work on this Sufi poetry project with the elder who loaded my arms with stacks of my very first books of Rumi, Gibran, Hafiz and Krishnamurty. My favorite person to wander through art museums with and be swept away by mystery and imagination.
