Dear Hawa:

The pungent alley smells   
The chai glass clinks 
foggy with remnants of condensed milk  
orange wind, the point to which vision clouds  

Should traffic dissipate like crows 
Should crows be harassed by stray dogs 
barking away their homeless shadows
orange wind should exhale the answers 

Where tides swallow roads to pilgrimage 
Where smoke return to  
lungs that cradle a dampened heart 
orange wind, where the questions start 

with an answer
