And She Hugs Me Thousand Times To Ease My Pain? Poem by nimal dunuhinga

[*In the land of invisible women;
The Arab Spring gave Yemen's women a public voice and a visible face, but the revolution has faded without changing anything for millions who were married too young and shut away in mud huts for rest of their lives.]-Janine Di Giovanni
Newsweek

Sticky the secret kisses
and her wisdom tooth
pierced my lips,
she offers tissues
to wipe the tears.
It's really amazing her tattoo
a barbed wire fence
just above her buttocks
and she hugs me thousand times
to ease my pain?
