Watch the shaved head bare <br />Emaciated boobs <br />The big skull of the suckling infant <br /> <br />Dark leaden eyes with thick bushes of lashes <br />Dry tongue has sewn lips <br />Genitals mutilated <br />Figure still can haunt you in nights <br /> <br />Compound eloquence <br />You make me very small <br />On the scale of equilibrium <br /> <br />*On International Women's Day <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />9/3/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-african-woman/
