adding
her charm
her grace
her fragrance
in the most
beautiful
costume
ritu hijra
in bloom
rising
like a phoenix
from the ashes
of her doom
hijra agony
from
the cradle to the tomb
a testicular tragedy
searching for
the missing womb
the missing vagina
from her soul
to exhume
neither man
nor woman
hope in a
bottled vacuum
parched lips
to drink
or not to drink
a poison to consume
trinkets
on her dainty feet
her girth her volume
as she dances
in the ladies bar room
walking
with the shadow
of death
a drop of tear
a hijra heirloom
