A Woman In Distress
Unrelenting gale, lashed
lashed incessantly
satiated? it seems so ….
for now at least ,
for there is a lull now,
And the air now carries
the cry, nay groan of a hapless woman;
I followed the sound as a rescue team member,
traced the sound to a shattered hut,
inside she lays hapless , writhing in pain;
she said she was raped in darkness
by an unknown who made good the hour of gale,
satiated, left her in lurch to disappear in darkness;
next to the woman lies the body of a man
her husband , felled by a fallen boulder …
the woman now swooned after
telling her story that happened
when the gale lashed …….
she is now in the secure hands of the rescuer
I shudder to think who 'll console her
when she regains consciousness
and how she 'd bear the trauma and pain;
Who is ruthless ? the unrelenting gale
that lashed or the treacherous man
who stealthily satisfied his lust
in darkness and when the poor woman's
hut was crumbling unable to withstand
The lust of the gale.....nay its onslaught .
