is it pooja? is it bhajan?
طاقت / taaqat
the qawaali at the dargah my Ba visited every thursday
so that all could be at peace
the insomnia that keeps us singing
into the morning
resound
move in vibration
shake
haunt
shatter
the first chimes of being
in trance
before we knew what it was called
nameless
We were one once
haunt
your truth
of dis-joint
knowledge
no expert
of mind, body, soul, and being
of the violence
was not
meant to be
forever transforming
trance-forming
forever ignite.
-Akta Kaushal and Richa Nagar, 9th & 10th March 2016, Honolulu
