Born, potentially divine,
a normal human being
never reshaped my transgender
to be scapegoat for antenatal order
gulping poison perennial.
Laxmipuri Kheri to Delhi-Gaziabad border
I miss my village, my life, farewell tears of my mother
a self exile inflicted
to escape from anger, sorrow and nightmare
be lost, unnoticed and invisible
save from caricature and sattire
this metro is better.
Birth, neighbors conspire to finish
growth, accidents, burns I attempt to life
death plays hide and seek
unsafe unwanted touch
acquired immune deficiency virus I can not fight
furious, I cry to console
cult reconnects network
I reconnect people positive
solidarity is strength,
I do empathize.
I colour lips, eye lids
music outspread, dance and sing
new born takes blessings
smile brings crowd
sorrow distances
I smile being crowded in crowd
eye ball dries tears
sorrow embedded mother's love haunts
live to survive
live each day as it comes
suffer to expiate sin for salvation.
(This is the story of Bulbul an eunuch in Kalandhar Colony at Delhi Gaziabad border)
