Rust And Smoke

Rust And Smoke is a collection of poems written without a straight line. Some are a single breath others spill across pages. They move between love loss memory and the strange weight of ordinary moments but they refuse to stay in their place. You can read it front to back or open it anywhere and find an entirely different book. The sequence is yours to decide. Some pieces will follow you for hours; others will vanish the moment you close the page until one day they return. This is not a book to “finish.” It is a set of fragments that change shape each time you look at them. Somewhere between the rust of what’s past and the smoke of what’s passing you might recognise yourself. Call her Sadhya a name that means “something to be achieved” but she prefers to think of it as a work in progress like an unfinished painting you cannot stop looking at. She is a national athlete an international classical dancer and a poet who believes words are just another form of choreography. Online she answers to butterfliesaredead a gallery of fleeting thoughts and lingering images. A future art director she directs her life the way she imagines her sets every detail intentional every accident welcome. Rust And Smoke is not a collection of poems but a series of frames from a film only she could make.
