Here there was a ME did you see?
With tears and swollen lips it was
I asked!
Is it body yes we have seen they said
Oh did you kick me out
It’s ok
I got used to it
It should be washed with some water they said
Tears? I queried
No not it’s the body they said
Is it here have I lost myself
Pious sacred they said
Why I questioned
Is it in the face
Again the same answer body, body
It sounded me like thirst, thirst to me
I started finding myself
Looked as a lamb lost in the village square
Hung on to the tree
Had she hung herself I doubted
She is babbling for rights
As someone tightly slapped
Pulling away face from there
Put on your clothes
Nude , naked they said
You made the soil bare
Saying they were touching all over …
In mother’s lap
The one who put on bindi along with kisses
Who never scolded then for my not wearing under wear
Now I find that face no where ..
Even then it’s ok
Holding up my face
I cried it’s Me
Placing hands near my breasts
And measuring them
Why have you shown these?
Now the soil is to be washed with milk
They said
Having drunk milk you have forgotten
No worries
You are not a child …
But still no worry
It could scare you
That’s enough
Saying no … denying …
But you are staring at the face
Now I don’t mind
Even if I can’t find my face
The body you touched
You satiated your hunger
Is questioning you
Making you stand in the crowd
From your fear
Dropped
Into my palm
My face
Let many may say I have no face
I don’t feel bad or bother
I will never ask any one
Carry the body as a corpse
I will be born again and again
