Night
Seema Tabassum 1974 (Hyderabad)
Crawling like a termite
The night has a way
Of making me feel nice
Summer might be good or bad
People come and I feel glad
Time is as memorable as God
For God has the power to
Convert twilight into shards of
Branded bags
So with a couple of bucks in my hands
I am pure from the wants of love and hunger
I am a godly woman
I am glad
