| Hibiscus rosa-sinensis |
Barely six months into her wedding,
He wants her to leave her job.
Creating a home is her responsibility.
Doesn’t he earn enough for both?
How happy her parents had been;
Good family, well settled groom,
No expectations from the family.
She’d agreed to the match.
Right after the honeymoon, the fights began.
He wanted an educated wife,
But didn’t want her to work.
She loved her job too much.
She shrugs the fights off; they can wait.
She dons her PPE, and goes into battle.
For an anesthesiologist in a COVID ward,
There are real demons to be slayed.

Katyayani, the Slayer of Demons
Hibiscus, evil doesn’t stand a chance against her
