Like a gush of wind or fierce cyclone,
that man entered home as usual and
in true sense it was a cell for her,
resumed his routine of hurly-burly,
caught her hair from front in his fist,
pulled her with a forceful strength,
and started bellowing yells of words,
tinted in adverse rubbish rebuke.
A poor new-born baby once chucked out
by an unknown mother, had to grow
in an orphanage, run by nuns in city,
had fallen prey
to hollow words
coated with sugar of artificial texture
rendered by that moneyed man,
claiming to be clement highly;
hence was handcuffed in the wed-lock.
Looking at the blue through window,
with a totally deadened mind,
having no provision to lodge
anything further, for,
it was full of pains and sorrows,
born out of torments by that wicked,
in the form of thrashing and hitting
on her pate spitefully.
Locking the ears with hands both,
like a gust of wind-blast,
flashed she to the open aimlessly,
with hurts in heart and wounds on carcass
to save her 'self' from there.
Her flight, from the venom-vomiting- tongue
landed in the calm and quiet of an Ashram,
which sheltered her and consoled solely.
