A newer year

smells of? 

new bangles?
crispy paranthas/souring malai 
maroon fingernails
cold
 baths.
old people
new people

a peeling  nose 
same stories, some stories
daring to plan hoping it won't explode

another loss to screeching tires

old whispers rehashed

Another nil factor, revisited 
(this must stop)

tolerance

tears at the newspaper
videochat tits on parade

sickness in my stomach
children covered in rubble who are you and why 
are you in my house?
I live here.

no you don'
