Hey Karan! Really curious read! I wanted to send some work to OnlyPoems, but heard some concerning things on Instagram and was hoping to open to disproving it ! Is it true when your book, Maya, came out you impersonated the book’s protagonist online to form bonds with women online? I think what you’re doing is super cool and hope this isn’t true!
August is the most painful month, praying is an astute solution, if there is one. This year my mother’s death has arrived again for the 40th time like a biblical flood or an allotment of exile. I have wandered past it every end of July and struggled up the mountain of my Augusts to reach my birthday, all without therapy since August is when they leave town for the coast, so I tiptoe from her death to my birth, trying to be mindful, to stay rooted to this spinning season-machine while making breakfast each morning, as if it was any other time of year.

How wonderful that this rare poem is published. So out of our ordinary.
