Numbness- my overcoat of resilience
Anger that resides within my vein
Envelopes my pain and leaves a stain!
Questions that stay muted on my lips
Reasons that failingly persist
Knowledge that gnaws at my senses
The self... At every touch tenses!!!
The screams of the child that shatter the silence of the night
The resigned sigh of the little girl, overcome by the might!
The swinging hips of the woman, at the street corner
The battered wife fulfilling her honour
Slamming doors and window jams,
Keys in locks and metal bands
Of curtains that mask tongues and faces
Sore bodies and blank spaces
Thought and memories of life's stages
Dropping shoulders and spectacles put back in cases
Heavy eyelid and slurry speeches
Pain that finds its shelter in sleepy breeches.
