The Paroxysm Poem by Ravi Panamanna

(Usually I find that our poets are handling such themes using plain and direct language, describing the act in detail etc., that can really go against the moral diction of the readers. It is always advisable to handle such ideas from subtle levels. What is more important is not the act but the impact of it) .

A scene –
A Highway battle.
A female dog,
A few male ones.

Male chauvinism,
The female is in paroxysm.
A bark, a meek resistance
And she loses the race.

No final escape,
A kind of rape.
The act, the aftermath,
She receives all wraths.

Barking world now recedes,
Numbness follows.
The pangs of life-
She receives without a decree.

Pregnancy, delivery,
The cycle continues.
The barking world continually thwarts,
Solace remains a distant dream.

Now, the scenario shifts,
Twinkling night unveils.
Behind many a drape too
Follows the same taboo.
