“Emotions”

By Khatoon Hazara

 

 

Anger

Douse your cup in rain clouds and books of gold

 

 

 

Happiness

Let down your hair in golden streaks

 

 

 

Sadness

Pin up your skirts and don’t let anything nor anyone bother you; it is not your duty, so let it be

 

 

 

 

Fear

Shout to the haven you’ve called earth for so long: tell him not to bring you down ever

 

 

Jealousy

My dear and saving grace let down your hair so that I may knot it with secrets you’ve never heard before

 

 

Innocence

There’s a road that befalls you

Take it

And leave me behind
