Poem: There Is A Song For Every Ups & Downs In Love By Ridwan Tukur
she could have been a dust to my path to finding love, but I hold water at all times. She was just like Earth in her silence, always fertile for what would be planted in her.

to count the hurt I woke with each time
is to borrow more fingers after my toes
many a time have you left this room empty
because you were everything my walls
wanted to listen to when you hum & breathe
to my touches
I would pray to you before
slitting you to death & god is
immortal, this body is just a house
for an elusive soul— it would desert you,
your breath would follow,
