Hijra Beauty in Bloom

Hijra Beauty in Bloom, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

the hijra
beauty in bloom
in her heart
for your love
ample room
next to her the cop
with article 377
in his hands
heralding her doom
a hijra
male born
in a woman's costume
a wet lab
her darkroom
no menstrual
machinations
filling a vacuum
buried
standing erect
in her tomb
give me space
give me legroom
my sexuality
on your parched soul
will mushroom
a bride
searching for her groom
through my lens
into her angst
I zoom
barefeet blogger
of Mumbai
hijra poetry
pedestrian pain
in poetic volume
giving birth
in tailors
head
of a trial room
after my
accidental death
only blogs
left to
exhume
