“Dust dances in the light
like tiny ghosts of stories.
I open a yellowed page—
your handwriting
from another lifetime. The shopkeeper pretends
not to see my tears.
He wraps the book
in silence.
I carry it home
like a wound
that refuses to heal”

“The Howrah Bridge
swallows the train whole.
I wave at no one.
No one waves back. In my pocket:

pressed flat,
still holding
the scent of your goodbye. The city shrinks.
The heart expands.
This is how
we become
the places
we leave.”

“Feb 14, 2026 Valentine's day.

Sometimes, it feels like my city is so profoundly different from the rest of the world.

Wherever you are, having a partner must be enough to make Valentine's Day worth celebrating.

But, oh my city.
Before Valentine's Day,
first, you have to have the day,
the day itself.

Do you know how deep-rooted loneliness becomes
When it starts with not having a day,
rather than a Valentine and it's partner ?”
― Mostafa Sarabzadeh
