A Hijra is Born

A Hijra is Born, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

a rose bud
at the mercy
of a spiked thorn
her lost childhood
her lost dreams
all gone
hijra life
a curse
a blasphemy
of scorn
it hurts
when hijras
as humans
are used abused
as porn
the birth of a book
chapters all torn


dedicated
to manish gaekwad
colors and crayon
