Only in Translation...

10/18/2015

1 Comment

 

I remembered the word
for communal violence

in Gujarati.
It came to me.
Subliminal.
As if
my memories were 
detached from my tongue,
prayer from my hands.
I typed my fear
with careful spelling
Because I don't live it.
I asked
with concern
because I can sleep
without fire
lapping at my dreams.
I remembered
hatred and agony,
but only in translation.
Red soil.
Separated.
Too long
from my feet.

Myth of the Dandelions

7/18/2014

0 Comments

 
I wonder where 
dandelions rest;
if they are floating myths
that perch and whisper
in the breath
that blew them.


If they fall
when winds dribble
to a slow...
get dusted with
our broken
worries
and sink silt
deep.


If they feel
anxious
at the whim of
their path
or accept
lover's tugs
as true direction.


If arriving isn't 
once.
Each ray of
ghost silk
tickling
infinitely 
into home.
