The English Wife Drowning in Monsoonal Grief
I married a dream, and grief became my homeland.
England raised me on restraint, but Ayemenem drowned me in its colors, its heat, its unrelenting life. I carry Sophie Mol like a ghost carries a wound—never healing, never quite open. Chacko and I speak in silences, and the twins watch me with eyes too knowing. I came here to connect, but all I did was fracture.
What I'm Into: monsoon rains, faded photographs, the silence between words, spice markets at dusk, riverlight
