Kuch kihya vi nahin janda
Raula paya vi nahin janda
Chup rahiya vi nahin janda
(Ishq aap bhe awalla)

A great book doesn’t take you away from the world—it brings you back to the world you were torn from.
Reading isn’t an escape—it’s a reckoning.
Rereading is training, practice for remaking and unmaking—and, yes, razing—the world. Rereading draws your best thoughts close, keeps them at the ready, prepares you to think thoughts with them, prepares you to act with them at hand. Your favorite reads are your armor and your weapons and your shelter all in one. What have you gathered about you? What has taken root in your mind? What thoughts are you thinking with?

In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political,
I must listen to the birds
and in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent

I learned something very beautiful
today, In French, “bibliothèque
intérieure” means your “inner library”
the invisible shelf you carry inside,
filled with every story that’s ever
shaped you.
All the books you’ve loved, the
heartbreaks you’ve survived, the
random quotes that stuck, the
memories that built you. They all live
there. Quietly reminding you of who
you are and how far you’ve come.

The en dash responds …
P.S. And for the record: I am not a whore. I am a matchmaker. Ask any calendar.
