After the termination Poem by Yashodhara Ray Chaudhuri

A womb had borne child eight times
And all eight times success was hers.
Another womb, only once.
The first womb ( 1901-1999), is the grandmother's.
The second womb ( 1965- ) , the grand daughter's.
Now, the second womb
Weeps blood for its' unborn embryos
On the tenth and eleventh of every month.
Now, after every wanted and unwanted
Termination, the second womb feels
Inferior
Tired
Anemic.
