Short Indus Poems

add one prefix of “H”
and remove the last “s”
and a Hindu is born

it is little away
from my rational mind’s

it can be near
if i drop my mistaken identity
I may still be a Hindu
even if the river is far...

While my heart cries
Decisions are ready made 
The Indus blown and the grass is seated
Cutting deeper than any blade...
