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.
