On Afia Siddiqui's Son Being Found
The televisions pour open a child returned
To the nation; ricocheting off a destiny
Unknown hidden in walls, Edhi homes, DNA
Strangled by the perfume of garlands
Choking his neck, and the press
An old/new family rejoices on
Camera, uncertain of what to say
Certain of how to perform
The newspapers gloss a child retrieved
From the clutches of a dark, dank
Pit of unknowns, question marks, X and Ys
