When I Asked Her Husband's Name, Said She It Not Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey
When I Asked Her Husband's Name, Said She It Not
I asked her,
What's your name,
Again, said I to her,
What's your husband's name,
Said she not,
Just kept on seeing,
Answering it not?
Just like a pantomime artiste
Said she,
Hinting about,
Spelling it not
As it would be a sin
To take the name of her husband.
Showed the tattoo on the arm
Of her hand,
Blackly inscribed upon
Revealing the name
Of her husband,
Forbidden to take.
