    Dear Agha,

    You left me 40 days ago

    I haven’t mourned yet

    What is that anyway?

    You loved to walk and that’s what I’m doing

    Walking in the simmering sun, oblivious to the heat

    Walking during the black night, oblivious to the moon

    Walking against the wind, trying to breathe

    Feeling that dream

    That dream in which you scream

    But only silence ensues

    You walked in search of familiarity,

    I walk wishing for the unfamiliar

    In search of strangers I can forget

    Street names that fade

    Memories I can erase

    Instead, I see a pomegranate tree

    The neighbor’s boy flashing his toddler teeth

    The park where your grandchildren play

    I see you with your arms folded across your back

    Your feet parted like a duck

    You let out that famous laugh

    And you disappear

    But I remain walking
