Hania Hashmi

Messy room and leaking ink
papers strewn and an abandoned drink
state of mind like a house on fire
cover it up with formal attire
rainy days make for movie night
laughter sounds better under candlelight
spontaneous drive down an empty street
windows down, Bon Iver on repeat
naps under trees in the afternoon
dinner tastes better while watching cartoons
when did simplicity become too much to ask,
when did living become a task?
