Au Revoir

Ramya Viswanathan posted under PenMuse-28 Poetry on 2021-03-20



Joyfully I entered the world, Lovingly I peeked at my mother, Who wept uncontrollably. Here she comes with the toxic sap Didn't you carry a tiny me dear granny? Alas! 'cause I am XX. Goodbye mom, fear not for I promise to return, into your hands In the alternate universe Author’s Note: Loosely based on a true incident that happened in Tamil Nadu in February 2021. May the Tripada Gayatri save female infants.
