Wali Jamali - Eve

Eve,
Wrapped in the wrong body,
fights with the coincidences.

some times,
She gets slaughtered in the sleep

some times,
Axe falls on her
accidently.

some times,
A wandering bullet
consumes her breath.

some times,
Stove-burst becomes a funeral pyre.

samiya wonders,
why a young boy has never been consumed by co-incidences?
what's in her body that charms the bullets, axe, stove-burst?

whiff of air whispers!
'you are trapped in the wrong body.'

samiya wonders!
'what's wrong with her own body? '

Wali Jamali
