a girl into a woman-
which is celebrated
with saree and bangle
ceremonies-
A ritual disguised as
a warning-
which takes a lot
away by cajoling you
with a few petty gifts-
Does that mean
menopause can give
a lot by taking away
a few petty things?
Like you can give back
a saree and a few
bangles to the society
and grow a pair of
wings to be effectively
redeemed?
