Hire Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

Hire



Approaching
Fifty in five years'
Time, twenty to
Thirty years more
To keep this body
On hire, till it gets
Doused in fire on a
Funeral pyre


(I'll be 45 this year)

An interesting poem. As an improbability we arrive. A borrowed body from eternity. When it wears out, as it must, back it goes.++10
