POETRY
Modern graveyard
We have built a civilisation / of sky-high buildings, / of concrete cities, / of disconnected communities

ILLUSTRATION: MAISHA SYEDA
We have built a civilisation
of sky-high buildings,
of concrete cities,
of disconnected communities.
Cracks creeping up
the foundation of our homes,
black mold making its way
through every floor,
termites in the walls,
fractures in every bone.
So, we stand,
divided
in this graveyard of hope.
