The barred Jallianwala Bagh,
In the guise of a lexicon.
The poet turns overleaf,
Massacre wreaks havoc.
...
A sharpener lies astray on an unkempt bed
Boys keep flooding in, to whet their pencils.
...
The twine is a long thoroughfare.
Tailors use the thoroughfare to darn clothes.
The garb turns out to be the next safe haven, given we forfeit the womb.
Thoroughfare adrift.

A Grim Verity
The barred Jallianwala Bagh,
In the guise of a lexicon.
The poet turns overleaf,
Massacre wreaks havoc.
