I am
all my daughters
I am
all my sisters
I am
all my mothers
I am
miserably grieved
I find no words
enough to curse
the sordid parade
that reached my eyes
and pierced my heart
my soul cannot breathe
I find no words
enough to curse
this wretched depth
of monstrosity
how further? how deeper?
must the sins of the world
seek revenge
upon my naked body.
