In this school they do not teach children. In these sad rooms
is only an education from a time of ideological madness,
a twisted algebra to produce of new way of living
Foggy afternoon of silent birds and still bridges
Walking blurred streets, crossing atmospheres
From pain to regret to flashing traffic to families
Caught between going home and leaving
There are lost poems stranded
in undefined space, refugees without
country, my accidental immigrants
of unknown whereabouts.
… the paucity
Of mourning for the dead
Who doggedly follow each other
To glutton graves baffles
The investigative heart
to paradoxical leaders
caught in flawed imagination
between saving power
and saving lives
I wish you would put those words in my mouth, God
To tell the world what you’re really like
Not some dead God who lives in some building
But a Father of kindness, a son of forgiveness,
A Spirit who helps me
Yeah that who you are
with winter fast approaching with no sign
of school reopening, I learnt the vocabulary
of hate and placed my preadolescent signature
on a certificate that declared my neighbour
and friend, Abhijit, his family, had become
our enemy

The sun rises in the west, lighting wet skies, moons and planets tumble into existence, a song is heard in spaces between the stars, we join in a chorus we do not understand and some of us weep, some flee. The face of a captain appears behind bright and shadowy…
Bitter fingers clawing
Defiled earth, anguished
Roots furiously seeking
Water tables of remedy Another chance to live
