Poetry by Priyanka Sacheti

by Priyanka Sacheti SuddenlySuddenly grief descends upon you and you are lost in a different sky, rendered weightless. Grief is an invisible silver scar. It is still there if you can’t see it. It is still there if you can’t touch it. It’s always going to be there. Open an atlas and you will see rivers and ghost rivers too, all those who once flowed across the earth, making it theirs. They may no longer flow but their songs still endure.

Priyanka SachetiEvery night, that same dream of that same house: a sand-colored cuboid, framed by a waterfalling fuchsia bougainvillea and a sky-embracing neem tree. At one end of the street lies the sun: at the other end, a tributary of more streets. This is the house that I will always call home, this is the land that will always be home. When I was 18 years old, I moved to the United Kingdom to pursue my undergraduate studies.

But she was always glad to return to the Sultanate of Oman, which her parents had chosen over other Gulf states such as the U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
