Domestic Helper, Singapore Bound Poem by RIC BASTASA
Domestic Helper, Singapore Bound
a woman is leaving for
singapore
back there to resume her
work as
nanny
late hours again before
she sleeps
she waits for her flight
at dawn
outside the glass wall that separates her
from the country
there are no more people
the atmosphere is that of a dormitory after a semester break
she opens her i-phone
and watches
her hand with a cotton wiping her baby's mouth
spilling milk from her nipple
