Esteem

by Rajender Krishan

He barked, she heard
Her silence, he felt
Intrigued, he quizzed
She remained quiet

To her the respect for
the precepts of dignity
was far more important
than winning an argument

She did not react
But responded,
In her graceful manner.

This quick, short writing speaks a lot about two different characters.
