“When are you giving the good news?”
her nosey relatives would ask.
Did they not realize she was
in no hurry to start a family?
The curiosity soon turned stringent,
“Don’t delay or it will be too late.”
They gave her names of IVF specialists,
told her which temples to visit.
They didn’t hesitate before throwing
barbs of ‘carrier woman’ at her.
Choice or not, they never knew,
but the babies never came.
“We told you not to delay,
now look at you”, they said cruelly.
Shouldn’t there be more for a woman
than to be reduced to her ovaries?
