Her temporary home, precarious
yet somehow enduring.
Ludhiana, a lifetime away.
Lahore, just out of reach.
Ragged ocean.
Oh to sail to the other side!
Where would they end up? And when?
And with what?
*
She washed fine-spun salwars,
hung them to dry wherever she could.
Queued for a bowl of flour,
two part-countries inside her.
Rahila, Jamila, Shehana
quarrelled in the cramped shelter,
or under the canopy of a walnut tree.
Carried water, swept the ground.
Cleaned their nails with twigs
to pass the time.
