A painting of mother
in grey and black
Glided me to my
childhood back
I wish I could
peep through a crack
Motherless was
I in a tiny shack
Seventh
daughter curse of fate
My arrival not
worth celebrate
All of them
were full of hate
Left my mother
utterly desolate
I overheard the
gossip of aunts
A picture
emerged by chance
A blend of
black and white stance
A chess board
with static pawns
Rooks, knights,
horses and bishop
And the king
painfully religious
Treated queen
mother malicious
Day and night
turned vicious
They found
faults in her mundane chores
Ridiculed her,
even in outdoors
They judged and
misjudged her affairs
She sipped her
hibernated tears
She finally
turned into a black hole
No radiation
emitted of grieving soul
Deadly
depression took her control
Thrown out with
a begging bowl
I never wept in my life
Even in the
moments of strife
The painting’s
colours struck a knife
Apertures
opened and I cried
