I wish you find a home
Where your war ends
And you can be yourself
Where the glass by your bedside
Always has water
And your skin is always clear
I wish you find a home
Where, you know at least one language
Completely
Where you can say
"I belong to this woman"
And not feel threatened
Because you look different than what you "should"
I wish you find a home
Where your Baba calls you at 11
And you are sleepy
Where he asks if you've eaten well
And you say yes like your Amma just made you
Your favorite meal
I wish you find a home
Where your demons rest
And your phone doesn't glare into your eyes
And you
In your entirety
Can feel alive again
I wish you find a small piece
Of heaven.
