wall graffiti the obscurity of his words
dancing fuchsia the rhapsody of feminism
subway walk the shadow of a lurking moon
fundraising box the crumpled notes
mockingbirds sing my alternative narrative

forced marriage
her wedding dress wrapped
in the old newspaper
wilted magnolia
she gives in
to his fake love
social inclusion
the loud songs
of the mockingbirds

World Refugee Day
weathered wall
a refugee scribbles his name
on ivy traces
refugee camp
a toddler fills the bottle
with raindrops
star gazing —
a refugee child confides his fears
to the polar bear
ebb tide
a refugee child collects
the empty shells
fallen leaves
a refugee child bury them
in the wet soil
--------------
she texted back Y me after his XX
breakup at the end of the street zero gravity
across the road shadows calling me names

Islamophobia
Islamophobia —
the persona I lost
in the crowd
dark tunnel
she gets frightened
by her own shadow
stigmatization —
his blurred reflection
on the office window
the blast news
she takes a detour
on her way home
subway platform
the shadows accompany
a girl in hijab
outdoor prayer
the snowflakes get stuck
into his beard
Failed Haiku, Volume 4, Issue 42
----------------
raking the autumn leaves me in isolation
the shadows of crows my guilty conscience
cawing ravens we discussed the ancient wisdom
the things I take for granted house crows
floating in the vacuum of self denial
unique perspectives wind me around bipolar depression
wildfire —
the victim’s story erupts
a heated discussion
mountain fog
the grudges we hold
over the years

lost in sunset the lullaby of a bereaved mother
numerology the odd patterns of my calculated risks
weather forecast
my thoughts jump
from cloud to cloud
desi roti —
the invisible fingerprints
of my grandmother
failed haiku, Volume 4, Issue 41

snowmelt —
the strong pull
of forgotten memories
friends reunion
we recognized each other
through our kids
identity crisis —
she writes her name
in abbreviations
Black Friday —
every single mannequin
without clothes
the wall he paints his borderline personality
Failed Haiku, Volume 4, Issue 39
---------------------------
river fog impersonating my selflessness
stones rippling the self denial
the path I haven’t explored yet flying geese
at the end of moonlit trail my bewilderment
mosquitoes in the summer camp free jazz
