Inspiration — what is it? Not the warmth of the moment you trusted, not the hand of a lover you longed for, not a childhood dream. It is the smile of a stranger exchanged just now, the city you have just stepped into, the sips of old red grape you were not supposed to have. It is the stranger I met this afternoon, the stranger I kissed in a dream, the stranger I lost back to the moon. It is the warmth of a teacup that cooled a little while ago; a body you could hold, a touch you could keep. It is an empty world in which I am lost. It is the stranger, it is me.

Inspiration
My bad lucky day Falling from the sky Like snow In the gloomy, cold winter The hazaragi girl with almond eyes Walking over Jasper avenue Doesn't know where is home, Doesn't know where to go The winter season extends there and here And the hazaragi girl dancs in the air Like a moon, fading her face Among her hair When the winds blows Slapping her fath every minutes harder and harder Hazaragi girl whispers; " Oh Edmonton, could could you be city of my dreams? Could you open you arm wider? The weather is gloomy The road is scary Could you hug me tighter ?"

The mirror right beside you, And you, while thinking about the possibility of the situation. The mirror is mockingly laughing— A silent, taunting echo. You say, "What could be," And sometimes, "What would be," While you push your pen harder and harder onto the paper. In the worst-case scenario, The mirror's laughter grows louder, Hearing the mockery echo in your mind. The walls in front and behind you inch closer Closing in, tighter and tighter. The statistics fall silent And only you and the mirror remain, Staring at each other in the quiet storm. Neither of you knows your true proportion to the world, Lost in reflection While "what could be" and "what would be" Fade into echoes, untethered from fact, Drowning in fears you cannot name.
