I am very chuffed to have my poem, My City published at MasticadoresUSA. Thank you so much Gabriela and team MasticadoresUSA.
As haze envelopes my city at night
its ugly scars diminish and disappear
the luminosity of moonlight shines not
on traces of death of morality...
Please read rest of the poem here.
Congratulations!! Much deserved!

Congratulations, Punam! Excellent poem. I love the way it ends, it’s so poignant:
“somewhere a sitar cries soulfully
and the hapless moon buries her face in shame.”
Beautiful ❤
