AN UNWED LITTLE BOY

Dilemma of a boy who had to witness his father's marriage. A prose poem.

AN UNWED LITTLE BOY

 

What is the need of this Bow-Tie..

An unwed little boy stood in the middle of guests

In the church, wondering about ties unnecessarily

 

Hymn reached till the hymen of his ears…

Failed to oscillate and enter into it….

Floating in the air for sometime it returned

To the prayer book in the hands of priest

 

Thoughts about unnecessary ties flailed a made up joy

Smiles like butterflies lingered on the lips of an ephemeral glee

 

It was only yesterday his mother left home..

Why his father brings a new mother, while,

Water cascading down from his eyes has not been stopped yet…

By some forgetfulness that time may bring…
