hijra beauty
has a short
shelf life
will soon
perish
wrinkle
fade
out of
a flesh
of clay
the hijra
was made
molded
sculpted
painted
with light
some shade
a sword of Damocles
a sword of Aids
a forbidden fruit
the lord forbade
the hijra a commodity
bought sold in trade
pain pathos passion
in laid as she jades
her bosom
her rosy cheeks
time stealthily raids
hijras are human
a poetic thought
society degrades
