Playing Holi ….by Aboli Mane

Aboli Mane's avatarA Writer In The Room

heterochromia
a duality of view 
divides her into 
what she should be
what she should not be

people wag their tongues 
while she paints her skin
multicoloured; incandescent
her art will be bolder 
than what she’s allowed to be 

playing holi 
can’t you see? 
she is the quiet defiance 
a statement through her piece 
I will be what I want to be

Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #270. In celebration of Holi and Women’s Day on 8th March! Thanks for reading 💕
