Abyss

She opens her hands, 
 clenched for years
 in a tight fist 
 like a new-born, 
 
 but these fists hold no secrets 
 of a mother’s womb,
 no innocence, or dreams freshly sown—
 
 instead, their hardened skin bears
 lacerations that come 
 from a hard grip
 on a fugitive soul
 
 sliding mercilessly 
 into the devil's pit
 
 deep, deep
 where she buried 
 old wounds
 
 
 (c) Neetu M.
