Hide And Seek
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1
a loser
with a winning streak
a commonality and yet unique
a womans child
a child woman
so to speak
perforated silence
soundlessly shriek
with her feminine fate
frivolous flippant fastidious
she plays hide and seek
gives birth to a coward
and to Hercules
she who remains outwardly weak
motherhood her inherent streak
her pain her sorrow cheek to cheek
a bodily goddess that turns antique
muted memories that cannot speak
misplaced for ever in a kingdom of the meek
a flowing river and a choked up creek
