To Make or Not to Make Love
DURBA MITRA

Frightened..

And nervous..

I stepped 

Inside 

The Hospital.

My knees..

Trembled. 

A lady..

Slept..

On a wheelchair.

I grabbed..

The ringing phone..

And blurted out..

"Would you..

Make love 

To me..

Even if..

I 

Am

On a wheelchair??"

The reply? 

Unruffled..

Strong..

Prompt..

"Yes.

I will. 

Physical lovemaking..

Is 

In the mind..

Not

In the crotch. "
