i blindfold my vision
i shut the weeping
lashes of my soul
on your consciousness
the darkness of their
world I expose
a pain from their
angst into my
bloodstream flows
becomes a poem
instead of
pictorial prose
i shoot hijras
as human
god knows
born men i shoot
them as women
in repose
i shoot hijras
up close
the circle
of confusion
confuses me
as it grows
kohl laden
eyes perky
nose silence
as it beckons me
on tight fisted toes
among so many out
there with cameras
it was me god chose
pictures poems
punctuated piety
i froze hijras
Cleopatra like
elegance
quilted eyebrows
