A lyrical, bitter-sweet poem by Dr Tirthankar – exclusively for Different Truths.
Give her the right of way, the woman gave the geraniums one day more to breathe before being away. A drop of the sun in a broken cup was all the light she had in her little room, three steps up, in a house dreary and bleak, with a cat for a companion on a bed that creaked. From the windowsill, the geraniums cried for the right of way to be given to the woman in a shrieking ambulance.
