Eunuch Mother's Day

surrogate motherhood
painful memories
some bad
some ugly
some good
a eunuch mother
babita
of a eunuch child
mona
a fractured childhood
given away to the eunuchs
the same night she was born
because
a eunuch in society is a curse
a thought misunderstood
yet bought up with
abundance of love
a destiny's child
a destiny no good
the hijras lucky mascot
dancing her way
towards life
towards diaphanous
womanhood
doing what she should
touch on wood
a tear drop of despair
unflinchingly
unfailingly
as mothers day
on paper
eunuch motherhood
withstood
