● POETRY IN VOICE
RESISTANCE
By Nadia Irshād
New Paragraph

I am an orphan
a child without a home
precisely between the time the sun visits
the deep hole dug within the rotation
let's hug before the explosion
hurry, let's bury a gun
I will wear white
prepared for a conversation with the sacred
hang onto love
hold hands
hands that don't match
but they fit perfectly
fingers of the same father
Abraham
