Kathputli Poem by sreelekha premjit

Kathputli



In the Kathputli colony
in the outskirts of the city
in the hearts of our lovers
in the harshest of times
we thrived
we ruled
travelling eons
tailoring dreams
until
bulldozed
until
despised
we became puppets
sans voice
sans action
sans land
sans shelter
sans respect
