Exclusive: Best of Women Poetry: Edited by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy
THE
DUEL
Sometimes
in dreams
Your
moustache calls me for a duel.
I
accept it.
When
the bell rings
Unknown
spectators howl and scream.
The
distance between you and me
Will
be shorter and wider.
Sometimes
it all ends to begin.
The
string of words
Tied
to my heart bursts.
A
legacy of burdens
Throbbing
in the vein
Now
gone forever.
And
I will walk towards
The
victory stand
Hands
up.
