'Whenever someone
comes to my door step,
I don’t leave him
empty handed...
I quench his thirst
feed his hunger
with my talents
called love...
I am a woman..
This is my task'
So she said,
to a thirsty man
stepping towards her
dry mouth open
begging...
she hugged him
and took him
behind the curtain
with sweet smiles
working...
