Bereavement

Posted on by Reena Saxena

the mortgage on individuality
and conscience
ends today
I step out in the fresh air
-alone
-independent

stern looks
fail to pierce my armor
-they expect me to be
suitably gloomy
for bereavement

What do I mourn
bereft of bondage
role-playing
and suffocation?
