Anand writes a dark ,but a brilliant piece

Inside, a 8 x 10 space
compartmentalizes
bits of her existence

Inside, the bed
makes love
to the kuchha walls

Outside, the first train
heralds
the beginning of another unfortunate day

Inside, a blanket
serves
as a veil for her mating game

Within, a child is
immured
in a coop

Inside, a ruptured roof
announces
the advent of the monsoons

Here, sunlight
is
a distant dream
