In the top right compartment
Of the old store room,
She has stashed an
Abortion receipt.
Numbered 79, guilty of
Not even bothering to think
Of a name for the fetus
She had shed.
Smiles at her 10 years old
Sometimes. Trying hard
Not to tear up to
The fact that,
The would have been
Eldest kid was the curse
Of a rapist, whom she was
Compelled to marry.
