From a Defeated Battle-Field by Partha Sarkar

A large tree in the middle of green woodland. Large white text reads: From a Defeated Battle-Field. Smaller text reads: Discussing disability in fairy tales and folklore.

Again She defeated me in the battle 
and as usual I came back as winner 
with a broken heart full of petals given by 
the golden moonlit night for whom I always kept 
a thorny conversation for her and she always 
smiled to remove the pride of sultry days 
and she does always.... 
and I always do the same and get defeated... 
 
And it is still night in a silent tent 
and I have to bow down to kiss the feet of the nectar 
 
I have to be alive to be winner 
after being defeated and defeated and defeated .
