'My Father Lives' ~ Rose Kaur Sodhi

In memorial of Balbir Singh Sodhi, murdered on September 15, 2001.

The victim of the first hate crime to result in death after the World Trade Center attacks.

 

my father lives 
in new york’s buildings
which scrape the sky

and

my father lives 
in afghanistan’s mountains 
which kiss the moon

and

my father lives

in mesa, arizona desert plain

which swallows the first sand

storm/bullet
yes

my father...
