Unbearable Beauty In White
Unbearable White Double Etheree
Death
to face.
Unbearable.
Inevitable.
No consolation.
Dear ones still alive, mourn.
Mourning dress in India
is white: unbearable emptiness.
Sorrow - grief or loss, colorless white
to pay last respect to the passing soul.
Before decades, still now-a-days somewhere
in India, white dress for widows
mandatory, making their lives
absolute dull passionless
shocking painful all white
devoid of color,
yet pure serene
unbearable
beauty.
White.
