without mischief
without any guile
sensitive tactile
lives for a moment
dies after a while
a lurking fear
beneath her smile
simplicity serenity
her inborn style
a vacuous thought
once penile
castrated
corrupted file
a thumbnail
for a profile
from a man
transforms
into a woman
nebulous nubile
slithering sorrow
androgynous reptile
hijra that society
defiles her pain
as a poem
thus compiled
the hijra
a gender
in exile
