Shiddat ~Stories From Urdu


Shiddat
(Urdu; Intensity)



The heat in a farmer's gaze
When he stares at the skies,
Two weeks before monsoon,
Every year.


Searching for a sign.
Reading between the lines and
Soft rumblings of her fat,
Curly-haired, grey skin uncles.


Rain is his most fickle lover.
And he's never learnt not to believe in her promises.
