Good Bye

And another soul rise up, 

Leaving the wrinkled, faded body with us, 

Wrapped in a linen shroud, 

Perfumed with camphor,

Bathed in hot waters...temperatures checked, as you won't feel now!

 A list of relatives shouldering coffin, 

A small piece of land that is now only yours, 

We Buried you in the pre-dig grave! 

Giving your share of earth,

with eyes filled with tears,

We bid you adieu for last! 

Dragging feet we come to take shelter again in these prisons!
