Stepfather Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Stepfather



He let her bloom
Like a selfless flower
Without manure and heat..

In a nearby kiosk
He lies drunk inhaling
Perfume from her virgin breasts

She feels she is not alone
Counting petals of moments
That shaped her youth in the dark

Off and she can hear his giggles
As if bubbles from a bottle of beer..
Evening falls like a dead leaf
And she gets ready to welcome
Him at the door..again..helpless
