I am a woman, a part of man but I not
Every day I woke with a hope that he
Might change but he not, my duly is
Bond with him that’s I like not.

'My heart has become capable of every form;
It is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
And a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Ka'ba
And the tablets of the Torah and the book of the Koran

Oh! God gives me strength to write a poem
I beg you a heavenly muse you are my supreme.
Oh night! Hold on, hold on either I squeeze
Call the words from the heavens and design it in the verse.

I am a woman, a part of man but I not
Every day I woke with a hope that he
Might change but he not, my duly is
Bond with him that’s I like not.

Man interrogate, How born again
Once mixed into earth? My lord
