A namesake died

Posted on by Reena Saxena

A namesake died
Her husband’s phone
crackled under the weight
of RIP messages

She watched him in silent mode
imagined the world after her
quietly picked up his phone

“She will be missed,” says an arch-rival
missed for the challenges
or losing a bait?

“Hope the end was peaceful.”
says, someone
who never let her live in peace

“May you find strength in your bereavement.”
(and in a life of freedom)
-she chuckled in glee

She wrote a message
to the kith and kin
of her namesake
“My sincere thanks for all she did for me
Both In life and death.”
