The Desert
In the memory of her late father
The desert
Has no beginning,
No end.
The sand whispers
Stirred gently by the wind.
I call
Your name
And hear my vice come back to me.
Mir! I shout, raising my voice,
But no Mir shouts back to me.
I write your name on the sand
And pray that you will answer me.
Mir, I whisper,
Where have you gone?
I touch [...]
Hear Me
Hear me. Hear me
whisper to the sky.
I never got to say
Goodbye.
I call so
Loudly. Hear me.
Beyond the rain, the clouds.
I need to tell you
I miss you. I cannot bear
To call like this
Without reply.
Answer me by just
Saying goodbye.
- Fatima Bhutto
