FROCK-SARI-AMMA | ഫ്രോക്ക്‌ - സാരി - അമ്മ

Translated from FROCK-SARI-AMMAഫ്രോക്ക് സാരി അമ്മ

when her daughter attained twelve
and all the beauties on the earth
started to dwell on her body
mother' s heart burned

Fearing even to bash an eyelid
thinking of the tragedies
in between the lips and cup
she stood for the guardian angel.

Entrusted the god to take care
from the stripping eyes
in between the school bus and the gate

Ensured in the bed
by searching through the blanket
that her daughter has not been stolen

Pulled an emergency on her way
to the neighbor's house
screaming "oh buddy"
as a seven year old boy is growing there!

In one midnight
her scream woke up the neighborhood
worried of her missing daughter
she fainted in the midnight

The neighborhoods solved the problem
by dropping her daughter on her shoulder
who slept off at the classroom
after a tireful French test.

The thoughts of the future
that her daughter will grow
from a frock to sari
in to a world of seminal climax
on every bus and lamp post
on the sight of every feminine shadow
And her shrunken womb that
was not enough to fit her daughter
further reddened the fire in her heart
