"Ticklish?" He could scarcely scrape the word from his throat.
She shook her head.
"What is it?"
"I..." Her kiss-flushed lips curved in a coy little smile. "I think it's the urges."
He couldn't help but grin in response.
These teasing hints of her naughty side were driving him mad with curiosity. He wanted to pry her open at the delicate pink seams and explore the sensual woman within.”

“PARTITION'
are your drains clean of blood now?
do you recall the names, and faces
of your own people?
did your countrymen get to die
right like human beings?
butchered sisters and mothers
still wait by the windows,
with no lantern.
that was no proper farewell
past midnight.
minarets whisper your ghazals
to an empty sky,
Koklass’ know the borders too.
what have you done, sir?”
