Bidai (Goodbye) Ceremony


हामी नमस्ते फेरि भन्न सम्म
म सधैं सम्झना हुनेछ

Until we say hello again
I will always remember 

Mothers at the window
looking in

the daughters 
behind the iron gate 

 faces
in the concrete box 

waiting 


for a turn

  
 to be fully seen

for the moment of realization

that you are the gift 
inside the envelope

that you opened with your own
powerful hands 

that one day

no one

will wait

at the window.
