Fewer Black Headscarves Poem by Maria Deyana

Fewer Black Headscarves

FEWER BLACK HEADSCARVES

At the market, women stand in line.
Once, they were all in black,
each carrying sorrow on her head.
Today, two have taken off their headscarves.

People are silent, but they notice.
It is not forgetfulness.
Only a little air for the soul.
