Death of a Biochemist

a poem by Meera

Accident, what to do?
Can happen to anyone.
She was a biochemist
who always spoke like atheist.
Believed in the mythical eclipse.
On her part, there wasn’t any lapse.
No, no lapse, only accident.
Can happen to anyone.
She had lively, kaajaled eyes,
watched Tamil films,
witnessed kabaddi matches.
Spot death, it seems.
Accident, can happen to anyone.
A proud mother
of three healthy sons.
Took good care
when alive…sudden death.
Accident, can happen
even to a mother.
