White Doves Poem by sreelekha premjit

White Doves



amid applause
at inaugural ceremony
the chief guest let off
the white ladies
disfigured
wings torn
feathers strewn
but
they shied
stricken
hovered on
till the wind
swept...them
to freedom
or back home
to the pimp...
another freedom
another prison
