dogs are cute

Meera found the injured puppy behind her apartment, shaking in the monsoon rain. As a Tamil poet living abroad, she'd often felt displaced, invisible to her new city. But this creature needed her. She nursed it back to health, documenting its recovery in verses. Her poetry about vulnerability and resilience touched thousands online, earning reactions she'd never expected. Through those glowing responses, strangers became friends, recognizing their own struggles in her words. The dog became her muse, teaching her that beauty transcends borders. Her diaspora heart finally understood: healing ourselves heals others, and shared stories bind us home.
