Lonesome woman in the shower-room : © Nibedita Sen

Lonesome woman in the shower-room
Discover yourself in your ashes

O desolate woman
Look at yourself from several angles
With foam create your bubble world
Make love to the soap
A deep embrace
Prattle away with rattling water, comrades

Forlorn woman in the wash-room
Shameless, narcissistic dame
Then once again the selfsame
When out in the absolute world
A snail inside its shell
Don’t even meet yourself in the crowded world

Lonesome woman in the washroom
Discover yourself, benumbed, oblivious
