Whatever reason they might offer
They deracinated the tree
That blossoms a sanguine-flower
Every month.
In the Anatomy Theatre
Of civilised man
The body of a woman
Has always been a Guinea Pig.
.
Whatever be the reason,
The cradle of man
Which put up with two cuts earlier
To give birth to a generation,
Now lies dead… severed forever.
In a system of medicine
Where consequences are
Not fully comprehensible
Uterus has reduced to a Test Tube
For Pills, Caesareans, IUDs, I-pills,
And now … to surrogacies.
.
Whatever the reason be,
Some invisible scissors have excised
The invisible organ.
Now
The vulnerable Soul
Laments looking for a hiding place
Searching all parts of the body.
HRTs and antidepressants
Have lined up in queue to console.
.
Yes!
This timeless, ageless corpus
Is a live hunting Mint now.
