Muharram Moon

A Chador-Shrouded solstice this year

A confluence of the gravity-dance

Mixing gunpowder and tears

Tugging at gaps in the memory

A voice here, flat tones of the keening

A shadow here, a way of standing

A couplet here, subliminal, yearning.

This is supposed to be epoch on the rise

This crossing of streams, of decades

But that’s for the Seers and the wise

I just write memoirs in the twisted wool

by Ali.A.Naqvi (2009)
