The same moon
poem • • 2 min
does the moon look the same from the other side of the world? questions folded like paper boats and sent to someone far away — different windows, one light.
about
i write because i have to, not because i want to connect with anyone or change the world or whatever people say about writing.
this is just where i put thoughts when they won't leave me alone. poems when thoughts need rhythm. articles when i need to work through something longer. whatever form the thought demands.
if you find something useful here, good. if not, that's fine too. i wasn't writing it for you anyway.
sometimes they're dark, sometimes they're not. depends on the day, the hour, what's happening in my head. i don't curate for mood or message.
that's it.

Bring In the Plants
poem • • 3 min
if i had three lives, i'd marry you in two. a love poem about the unglamorous parts — arguments over groceries, apologies in three sizes, bringing in the plants before the storm.

nazm • • 1 min
what is this lie worth? the child who left for school in the morning — his house burned too, his blood ran on the same streets. a nazm for a city on fire and a nation gone hollow, asking what the blood was worth.
