POETRY

---

A CRY FOR HELP by Saeesha Pandita

(I still cherish the days, / When I used to sit under the comforting shade of the Chinar tree / Around my neighbourhood, / All alone while watching the leaves dance to / The sweet Rubaab melody.)

PIPEDREAMS by Eunice Kim

(i tell the changeling girl, quiet. she tells me, stay. I am/ still permanently caught in the liminal space between/)

SKIES /A CONVERSATION WITH बाबा/ by Lisa Mandal

(But बाबा that’s exactly what hope is/ – desiring for light in the darkness.)

THE LETTER I NEVER SENT by Nisarga Sinha

(Time froze there./ And stopped,/ And cried with me.)
