Enigma

Listen to Seemab read her poem:

Textile · Enigma - Seemab Zahra

What mystery do you hide
in your inability
to endure a dream that is
empty of my existence?

Now I am in disbelief;
For you have become the earth,
and I a distant planet,
in a galaxy beyond the milky way,

And the abundance of this subtlety
is far greater a tragedy
than a planet leaving its orbit,
getting lost in the unknown.
