Poetry

“Young Girl at the Window” by Salvador Dalí

“And the writing is still: to you, with you, about you, because of you and for you.”

— Nizar Qabbani

“There’s a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”

Jalal ad-Din Rumi


Winter dreams of apricity’s glow

And hope, though soft, /
is warm enough to exist in.

In Autumn’s Grasp

Leaves fall
like forgotten pages, /
carried by a breeze that speaks of endings
