She

Sitting between the walls

Of concrete and wood

She meditates.

Her dark majesty is laden

With the bonds of religion-

Bangles, rings, paints and dots

Her person denied

To the fresh of the world.

Even the brightest ray of light

Loses its way

Into the sanguine darkness of her heart.

Mother, daughter, wife, sister

But was hated as a woman.

She seeks favours of a man

Who banished his woman to become a lord…
