the god of small things

they call you the untouchable
an outcast
parasite

unimportant
unsignificant
disposable

and small

but you are the god
of small things
and of loss

more important
more significant
less disposable

than they

the god of small things

I liked this. How did I miss it before?

thank you

thank you for another kind comment!! i wrote and posted this poem very recently so it might have slipped your notice. this is another example of a book that i didn't really like inspiring a poem - very strange!

i'm glad you enjoyed it - have you by any chance read the book? (it's by arundhati roy)
