“ভক্তি প্রারম্ভিক // I am the love child

of despair and elation,

never wholly belonging to one”

A short poem:

A man with his family and people
are drowning in the sea.
A yacht near him yells at him
From the microphone:
"SAY THANK YOU FOR OUR HELP,
WE WILL THROW YOU A ROPE
IF YOU SELL US YOUR LAND."

The Yacht is called Jesusland.

I read my poetry at the Cafe Coda (a jazz club on the north-east-side of Madison) this Sunday, March 2 at 2!

My first photography publication that was taken by my phone. I took this photo at the Albuquerque International Airport in 2023. Later a literary magazine from Missouri, Kansas City Voices, published this piece.

It took a heartless man and his henchmen to dismantle decades of progress in two weeks, and I thought Artificial Intelligence was gonna make things difficult for us. . .

In the time we're living, we feel we don't belong anywhere, neither past, nor present, but only within an anxious breath for a future that is being stolen from us. . . .

My first post. My cat Toulouse. Hope it makes your day/night.
