Women's day Radhamani sarma

 

Women’s Day

 

Pumping water in taps,

streets and amidst queue,

 early stage of pregnancy no excuse,

rushing back home

water titling at hips;

women’s Day glow at her heels!

 

women, dutiful mother,

caring housewife, home loving

in all onerous situation,

home work of her ward

lest he or she should bear cudgels;

Women’s Day at her heels!

 

After all she is a daughter in law,

Supposed to bear the brunt,

for decades for all pittance

Of property and claims

she owns by rightful law;

Women’s day at her heels!

 

A nonagenarian

Mother-in-law recollects

her days then and now:

herself a flicker of lamp

with blinking eyes;

 Women’s Day its own rhythm.
