And I Become a Woman Stoned
Night falls and A bed, without breath, without lust, Buries me in itself. Morning rises and the repetitious dawn, With the tip of the nail pounding on my window pane. The day rises, and, Time has issued a heavy sentence. The sun bites itsnails as it peers at me At how the stones are falling… →

The Kitchen
It’s not a bad place, the kitchen, Rather a realm of powerful significance. It’s the land whose rulers add The spices of love, compassion, and justice To everyday life. It’s a place where the blessings of life Stick to the bottom of pots and pans, And grandmother’s brewed tea is sipped honestly. The birthplace of… →
