blood
muscles sinews
human emotions
is all same
gender dubious
neither man
nor woman
hijra in name
androgynous
aesthetic
the hijra
is game
the mysticism
of her life
her notoriety
to fame
god was a miser
a man woman
he made
from the rib
of man
a woman like
man came
over the years
hijra became
his lifes
ignominy
his eternal
shame
a missing vagina
a missing womb
a hijra comes alive
out of the frame
a wick
of his masculinity
buring in flames
the pain
of a candle
waxen tears
exclaim
burnt bruised
wounded
maimed
for the sins
of his forefathers
the hjra defamed
