Barren Woman

Barren Woman

by Fizza Abbas

A black-haired woman
with a thin, frail body,
lying naked from head to toe
with a kashkul in her hands,
asking for a penny
from those moving around the corridor.

I often dream of aid.

Her hazel green eyes
complement the mole on her neck
while her delicate hands tell me
her mother never involved her in any household chores —
she was always her dear darling.

She was once called kindness
now known as the trace.
