SOCIETY

-Namrata Talukdar

  Rehabari, Guwahati (ASSAM)

 

The man is watching the tears

Flowing from the lovelorn lady that she was

Detached, unacceptable and bewildered

She is scared as she walks

The man is watching her fears

There is no escape from the murmurs of society.

A widow later, but a human first

A mingling society is her only thirst

The man approaches as a benefactor to her

But again, she enquires if even he is dejected?

An unacceptable human of this difficult society?

And should they be meeting on this unfortunate tryst?
