very disturbing images.
In the nearest language, it always works.

I am not sure what to say on this poem; as hurricane said, the instincts are rather visceral - but you get full points on the clarity of expression.

Regards

I have read your poetry many times brother, every time the magnitude of love it transcends shrouded within deep pain left my heart heavy. Very touchy.

Mister hurricane

Thank you? I guess?

I mentioned Benzair marhoom because it is a national tragedy that effected all Pakistanis.

Damn that is a beautiful poem.

Are you by any chance a victim of a suicide bombing....or mayhaps you work at the morgue? The descriptions are so visceral and intimate, it appears that you have first hand experience at this slicing and dicing!

Is that byline, you know, the BB mention, is that perhaps the new way to get published on chowk now? Don't get me wrong, I like the poem and all, but just curious.

With thundering respect,
the hurricane.
