to my makers
kamaljit kaur and suchet singh

i am. because of you.

i hope you look at us

and think

your sacrifices were worth it

to my stunning sisters and brother

prabhdeep kaur

kirandeep kaur

saaheb singh

we are in this together

you define love.

contents

wilting

falling

rooting

rising

blooming

bees came for honey

flowers giggled as they

undressed themselves

for the taking

the sun smiled

-
the second birth

on the last day of love

my heart cracked inside my body

i spent the entire night

casting spells to bring you back

i reached for the last bouquet of flowers

you gave me

now wilting in their vase

one

by

one

i popped their heads off

and ate them
