An African Woman Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

An African Woman

Rating: 2.7


Watch the shaved head bare
Emaciated boobs
The big skull of the suckling infant

Dark leaden eyes with thick bushes of lashes
Dry tongue has sewn lips
Genitals mutilated
Figure still can haunt you in nights

Compound eloquence
You make me very small
On the scale of equilibrium

*On International Women's Day
