SOLITUDE : Uzma Parveen
SOLITUDE
Uzma Parveen
With whom I once stood proud,
I am parted now.
My home is destroyed,
and I feel so alone.
Cruel ruler, autumn,
has hollowed me from within.
Unknown places now haunt me,
and every step towards me
brings fear—I shiver within.
Should I cry, or laugh at myself?
I feel I may break so easily.
O wind, have mercy on this dry leaf—
I have become so vulnerable, so weak.
(Uzma Parveen is a poet from Mau, Uttar Pradesh, India. She holds a Master's degree in English Literature from Aligarh Muslim University.
