Bulls-eye

Author: Manahil Shahnawaz

I think I’ve hit a magical bulls-eye today

Everything is in perspective

The puzzle pieces are aligned

There is a hesitance to move

And write more

What if this fluid bliss turns to mockery

“Fluid Urdu turned word for word to

English stone”

What if the stone

The diamond,

Returns to coal
