Homeless Martyr

 

The words

Accessible only by blind gropings

Reflecting their inaccuracy

Uncorrectable

The dissident’s poem

Flows on

Without rhythm

Disrupted

Broken

My America

Dead

The home

Disfigured

Amputated

The search renews

Along ancient avenues

Leading to the cauldron

Consumed by the

Flames of hate

Making neo-Diaspora

The obvious fate

To be considered

In periods

Of stasis and corporeality

Long before my eulogy

As the greatest hero

In the history of Sindh

Having reconquered both his homes

In a flash

Of brilliance

Resilience

Turbulence controlled

Thus the legend of his demise

For the people

Is foretold
