The Bamboo Hut, 2019


homecoming
on my back
cawing crows

--------

good omen
a crow feathers wreath
on the front door


The Bamboo Hut, Summer 2019

------------------------------------


camouflaging
the eastern horizon
grey smoke
the day we surrender
to our fate

---------

in the dust
of war rubble
I inhale
the deep pain
of my ancestors

---------

wildflowers
on her grave
this monsoon
I see the colours
of her deepest pain

---------

family photo
with her lost child
under the oak
where they once played
hide and seek


The Bamboo Hut, Spring 2019

ravens perched on the border post conspiracy theory

adult crows without feathers civil war

heatwave rippling the crow’s shadow in the Dal lake

rain soaked newspaper his blatant lies

autumn leaves the cicada songs

deep forest the sound of my inner voice
