OBITUARY

Ammani Nair

(1990-2052)

Tall buildings all around
Not one to call her own
Her small one on the side
The one that mattered most

They walk on by
Oblivious to all
but the structures of the eminent
The laconic one
Forgotten by those
Who didn't care to look for it

It didn’t matter
what they thought
The opinion of the flock
For those who noticed
Understood
The simplicity of the small
