Aisha Malik: Prisoner of Time

Time


My loneliness upends me

Sends me to myself

I am only half a daughter, sister, friend, lover and neighbour

The core of my being molted

They only see what they want to see

I am unto myself what time is to humanity

I am isolated while my neighbour extrapolates numbers on a graph

I am supposed to write, what do I write about?

I exist by myself

I come home to the bitter sound of desperation

Anger and grief

I come home to myself
