Poems

by Kajal Ahmad

The igniter of lightning
the radio of thunder
and the eraser of dryness’s notebook.
It is a cry for all the standings up of trees
and all the sittings down of stones
it is the revitalizer of the world and my killer
I put on all the legends
and the rain was the one legend
that could not be put on.
