An unravished bride , intricate & fragrant henna highlighting her turmeric skin, robust line of traditional red parting her voluptuous hair, gloss of her glistening tears, in contrast to her matt lipstick ; reluctantly circles the holy fire, wishing to be consumed by it; rather than be in a newspaper column, scarred victim of another dowry blast; unnecessary statistic of an unholy fire. #bride #dowry #fire #unholy #YoPoWriMo #yqbaba
