The Poem

She met me,
accidentally,
after a gap of years -
thirteen to be precise 
                   and
it was evident 
how Time had her
skin dampened,
teeth splintered,
nails smudged,
hair des​ic​cated.

She, however
courageously, did not
make any effort
to hide all this and said
"Yes, I'm living a Life! You see?
What about you?"

(I wanted to reply 
but withheld:
maybe there will be a poem about all this -
reminding you how grief 
gatecrashes over us all,
stanza-wise -
without rhymes,
in loneliness)

You will understand it without a summary.
