Another Spring
Spring Shall Return to the City
By virtue of the prime minister’s
photogenic smile
Adonis-like
the murdered youth shall return from Hades
and other victims too
The president shall clear his throat
and the terrorists will surrender arms
and get jobs at the Mehran Bank
In the afternoon
the moment the Chief Minister’s yawn is ended
the citizenry shall set out for movie houses and theaters
Topless nymphomaniac girls will come out to the French Beach
The moment our eyes pop and the tongues loll out
from bodies strung up
on boughs of trees
Spring shall return to the city
