A powerful, hard-hitting poem about the Every Woman, the everyday diva.
International Woman’s Day Special
“sometimes a deity and sometimes evil since they believe I am a deceitful foetus”
Pic credit: Anindita Bose
A fire burning my essence
and scattering ashes of unknown
stories that fade within
dreams are no more dreams
but desires of long lost destinies that
could have been my own
I walk on tales sang by the
witnesses of my own land in which
they demarcate my roles
sometimes a deity and
sometimes evil since they believe
I am a deceitful foetus
I have seen miseries, love,
goodness and moments of brutality
when my existence feared
a pseudo world of words
weaving my life in which I have
nothing to say or act…
amidst such claustrophobic
walls of generic nuisances I rise each
time to play the phoenix
an epic of a wandering river
in search of an ancient sea.
