Fragment I
What am I supposed to do with this sugar-coated sadness?
What am I supposed to do with my left-over self?
I devoured the love that you gave me.
I am exhausted with all the love I gave.About the Book
Saturn and her moons is a poetry collection about grief, girlhood, longing, homesickness, love, and becoming. It is for the feelings that stay with us long after we have run out of words for them.
These poems move through the quiet aftermath of loss, the ache of remembering, and the slow work of learning to belong to yourself. A book to return to when something inside you needs a language of its own.
About the Poet
I'm Hafsa Khokhar, a poet drawn to the things that are difficult to name: grief, distance, girlhood, homesickness, and the strange ways we keep becoming ourselves. I write for the feelings we carry quietly, the memories that follow us, and the parts of us that are still learning how to heal.
Through Saturn and her moons, I hope to offer a small place of recognition — somewhere a reader might find a line that feels like it has been waiting for them.

Fragments from the Book
Fragment II
We are fooled by the idea of tomorrow.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
It’s like a sigh.
It’s impending abandonment.
It’s waiting and it’s inevitability.For Readers in Pakistan
