WALL



WALL

This partition wall has been erected by us only

Abode has been divided, along with courtyard and *Tulsi Thane

Not bricks and mortar, it has been built by applying 

Ruined brotherhood and sodality

Heavy hearts of sisters

Squeals of infants

And the milky smile

Tears- smeared vociferance of mother 

World of unaccomplished dreams of father.


Hatred, anger, disdain and reproach

Oozing from clumsy hearts of brothers and their wives. 


Amidst these familiar figures

Trying to probe hearts, my own

Lifeless, but still tossing

Throbbing sensations.


Indulged in prayer 

Let this wall fall.

*A tulsi thane is a traditional terracotta pot used to grow a tulsi plant (holy Basil)
