heena hijra
raw beauty
broken wings
a gilded cage
silently she
sings
incarcerated
held captive
against her will
in a cosmic ring
neither man
nor woman
simply nothing
queen of pain
flowing tears
memories
of her lost
childhood
more pain
stings
heartlessly
hopeless
above
all things
endless
winters
no sign
of spring
