Anathema

It has gathered dust over the last eleven months. Shoved between the few books I managed to sneak into my suitcase, it lies buried but not forgotten. I try not looking at it. Looking at it leaves an unpleasant taste at the back of my mouth. It makes me think of yesterdays. I can’t deal with that.
That little paperback is a movie reel of memories all by itself. It takes me back many months in time, to the first time we ever had this conversation, to that day in the bookstore when I caught sight of this particular book and said to you, ‘I wish I could have that’, to that one cool January evening when you slipped a gi

A friend of mine suggested that I make this my feature piece. I'm heeding his advice.

Sweet AvenueThe train pulls up at the junction, smoking copiously into the rainclouded skies. Chug and whistle and grind, and as it screeches to a halt I step aside to let the crowd pass. Feet slamming into cement, luggage being hoisted onto trolleys. I am thinking of you.
And when the first drop slams into the earth, and all around me people gasp from the sudden chill of the April shower, and umbrellas are hastily unfurled, I lift my head up to the gray skies and discern shapes in the heavens. There goes my history assignment, bound and stapled, put together in the predawn hours of one Monday morning, when my fingers were still numb from th Sweet Avenue

Sleep On ItIt comes over her again. She staggers into her bathroom and heaves the remains of her frugal lunch into the sink before sticking her head under the running faucet, her long hair clinging to the porcelain basin in unsightly swirls and whorls. She watches with bleary eyes as the faucet runs ice cold water down her neck, the metallic taste of vomit lingering in her mouth. Her abdomen tightens again and this time she loses balance, sinking to the cold mosaic floor without resistance, the dull thud of contact muffled by the running water.

Her eyes glaze over as she rests her head against the tiled wall, the tunnel vision surprisingly Sleep On It

As Time Goes ByHe watched the hour hand scissor in place, as the pots on the stove simmered and the heat from the stove blasted him in the face. Seven o’clock. He tried, but couldn’t ignore, the click-clack of her heels on the stairs as she made her way up. She turned the key in the lock and carried into the house with her the overpowering smell of her citrusy perfume. The perfume he’d gotten her for their fifth anniversary, the perfume that she was now using to mask that unmistakable stench on cigarette smoke on her person.

She didn’t smoke. He knew, because he was intimately acquainted with her medical records. He had bee As Time Goes By

The boy who ran part 2This was a plan, A good plan indeed. He would keep it a big secret And just take what he’d need.
An extra bow-tie,
In case he lost the first, A bottle of chocolate milk, To quench some of his thirst.
A copy of Red riding hood, To guide him through the forest, And a little baby blanket On top of which he could rest
He also took some cookies, With little chocolate chips, He also took some oranges, The ones without the pips.
The plan was to run, To run away from home. He thought he could go to Africa, Or The boy who ran part 2

The boy who ranThere was once a boy, His name was Boo He wore a shirt and a hat, And an adorable bow-tie too
He studied in a school Built for children like himself With a lovable teacher,
And toys on the shelf.
The children were happy, They had fun all the time, They would learn, sing and dance, And occasionally rhyme.

Boo was nice, As many would say, But he also had a secret, That would be revealed one day.
Boo wasn’t happy, He didn’t like the others He barely had a friend, And no sisters or brothers.
The boy who ran

Born 1991. I recently got my driver's license, though I shouldn't be out on the streets. I'm not the safest of drivers. Speed is relative to me.

I'm also an immigrant, living out the two halves of my lives in continents 18,000 miles apart. Part of my being lingers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The rest of me has got both feet planted in Grapevine, Texas.

Just the other day, my boyfriend added me on dA. So now my life has a higher purpose. Ha, ha.

It gets a little exhausting.
