Life without Eyes

In Kashmir
a young girl,
fourteen stood
staring out of
the window,
in dismay perhaps
of seeing uniformed
men only around,
surround
was greeted by bullets
the newspaper reports
they could save her life
not her eyes, two eyes
do not matter hand them
over on a platter for dissection
and minute inspection
and let these array of pellets
hound us into life
without eyes.
