Kafayat Quadri

I wish you were chickenpox
Once in a life time kinda thing
But like cough and catarrh
You will be there all the while
...

If I were opportuned to conceive you
I will be weird for you
You will be different from your peer
Because you will be better than them
...

We sat solemly
Watching the other storeys
Tutu's Mama died
Such a pretty woman
...

I'm floating on the sea
I'm flying in the clouds
I'm climbing all the trees
I'm singing you a song
...

We forget too soon
The pain of wet floors
The hand that tilled the soil
The anguish of a falling hope
...
