A prolonged narrow border.
Positioned neatly
between two flattened, prostrated playfields of black hair, oiled.
A strange partition.
Ma's parted hair
Colourless sun-dried skin, skimmed thoroughly on the maternal chulha
The aesthetic spectare of impassive orange coals descending into nothingness,
The urgent comfort of passengers travelling in the northern winds of Punjab, granted.
