Here’s a dark poem about love, loss and fear by Naheed – exclusively
for Different Truths.
Seems, an absolute Tug of war is embracing defeat; Weight of the desire To marry vacuum, ascending Each while like an animal wild Targeting the life hidden Within a hare white, sitting in The bosom of greens Alas! How vehement hegemony, Of the gone, leads The sail of existence; Befalling the Psyche numb As doing everything still stills in something
Picture design Anumita Roy, Different Truths
