Ode to “Normalcy”
Kashmir is NORMAL
KASHMIR IS NORMAL
Even if barricades are scattered like mazes,
Even if barbed wires guard each gasps for breath,
Even if sealed lips aches for freedom,
Even if silence lingers like graveyard air,
Even if autumn has been forced onto spring,
Even if the minds are numbed and skies entombed…
KASHMIR IS NORMAL
