This foundation can only take the beating of one heart.
HINNAH MIANThis foundation can only take the beating of one heart.
HINNAH MIANWhen you kissed me you breathed air into my lifeless soul.
HINNAH MIANSeek refuge in the space between my bones.
HINNAH MIANI am tired of living in a world, where I belong deeply, to anyone but myself.
HINNAH MIANWhen I look in the mirror, I don’t see a poem.
HINNAH MIANI don’t know how to let you out without destroying us both.
HINNAH MIANAllow me to introduce myself, A warning and a welcoming all at once.
HINNAH MIANHope lingers like a moon.
HINNAH MIANI love you like I barely had a land to call my own.
HINNAH MIANHe reminds me of the shadow between silences.
HINNAH MIANI don’t like how your embrace feels like comfort till the knife thrust.
HINNAH MIANI loved you in quiet because to hide is to pretend that it is okay.
HINNAH MIANRead the scars on my body like braille, for I no longer know how to tell a story that belongs deeply to me but is no longer mine.
HINNAH MIANShe has learned so much from dying only to be born again.
HINNAH MIANThis country collects too many tongues, until our only language is silence.
HINNAH MIANSomewhere inside my throat lives your ache.
HINNAH MIAN
