EXTRA PLEASE

Last night 11 pm driving back home, we saw a young woman between the cars, the entire right side

…o’ face in plaster – it bled where the ear used to be : her head did a spasm with each step, she took …’tween

Mahatma Gandhi road an’ vehicles at Trinity circle: her right arm begged o’er an exposed belly- swollen – 7 mths ? 

o’er sagging skirt an’ shrunk red blouse.  

🌿

If we scraped together every coin an’ note we could / would it take away things done to her – that ordered her to beg at

midnight barefoot pregnant burnt scarredunspoken for, a loan, to evil.Was she young was she, old? God Lord her wide black eyes do not cry…is this why the seas are full of salt: they’re full of tears we weep no longer
