"Coming to Urdu from Farsi, ‘khaana badosh’ quite literally translates to describe people who carry their home on their shoulders (Khana = home and Dosh = shoulder), like nomads and gypsies moving from place to place."
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you want to go home
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you spend a lifetime refining your core, not
because whiteness said your soft belly was a
weakness, but to support your spine in sitting
straighter, standing taller than you're supposed to
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you know home as the deep breaths you take
to gather yourself in-between moments
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you carry home on your shoulders
when you carry home on your shoulders
the people and spaces where you can set down
the home you carry on your shoulders
that is where you go in life when you want to go
home.
