it is much easier
to be proverbial blindly
quote what others have said
how can we remove a darkness
overspread over the hijras head
for centuries since time immemorial
he has been sodomized raped and bled
by society viral abusive insensitive dead
begging on the streets neither man nor
woman an apparition ghostly in a ladies
dress stalking his future ahead
made to whore in dark dungeons of delight
a single dim lamp a creaky bed
the monotonous feet dragging fan
overhead lying naked being
tilled like a dead field
where nothing can be sowed or bred
stalking him deliriously his fate
back bent doomed bleeding red
through pictures i light a candle
flickering in the wind fucked
forever with a chisel embedded
on the hijras forehead not the hijra
but the silhouette of man
cursing the darkness from
the shadows of his deathbed
