Life on the Street

Life on the Street
Originally uploaded by firozeshakirphotographerno1

old woman
her one room apartment
on the street
walls of air
that need no concrete
banyan tree
just dust and heat
wrinkled face
wrinkled feet
her man
who ran away
to mumbai
the fraud the cheat
a trust based on deceit
the neighbors
give her food to eat
with a hari om
others greet
a charpoy
her bed
life complete
dreams
turned to nightmare
in this road side suite
a winning life
beyond defeat
