Lines in the Dust
In the summer heat of '47's cry, A line was drawn beneath the sky. Not ink, but blood, not words, but flame— Two nations born, but none the same. Fields once golden, shared with grace, Now whispered names in a stranger’s place. Neighbors turned to fleeing feet, Homes abandoned, hearts incomplete. The Ganga wept, the Indus roared, As trains of silence onward soared. One carried...

Premium Member Wounds of Partition
Millions of Indian Muslim marched toward Pakistan, And numerous Hindus, from Pakistan, reached Hindustan.

Partition of the Day
The dawn makes fools of us all. It fills us half full like open barrel drums left out in the rain. There's no excuse, except to say: we stand among crystalline mist, the yawning light teasing us to immortality. We prune angels with gravel and future memories in our pockets, like poltergeist stars. Midday reaks of sweat to us. Dinner--an inextricable film of...

Partition
Oh, please just don’t fight! I know you don’t love each other; It’s me, who to decide With whom I’ll be with; or Where to go for seven days; Three days for you, daddy! Three days for you, mommy!
