This is a pantoum. It’s once again a piece that talks about moving away, but this timewe have a “couple” of sorts (could be friends, family, etc.). The goal with the pantoum was to progress the story while still repeating the lines as in a traditional pantoum. The piece does this by using punctuation where appropriate, to change the pacing and what the phrases themselves mean. The central idea is established right in the beginning, and then the central metaphor of the city being a womb of sorts is what carries through the whole piece. The only revision here was to introduce the actual name of the city in the beginning, and chaning the title from “City” to “Pune”.
