No Place for Prose
Simran Ahira
There is no space for music here
I invite her in
But she doesn’t stay for long
Our conversations were always so big
And this place is so small.
This is no place for art
I call
And I write her letters
But she stopped answering.
There is no place for dance.
I meet with poetry every few weeks/
Months
But she looks at me strangely
Like she doesn’t recognise me anymore
Our conversations feel forced.
I miss film
Sometimes
We drifted apart
And I don’t understand him like I did before
I sit and I wonder about him.
I keep in touch with photography
But he is friends with everybody
It’s not like it used to be with us:
Our long walks where we would dissect each other and everything.
There is no place for sculpture here
But her and I were never close.
This is no place for prose.
