She lay there

for the world to see

she lay there

for all of us to be.

Torn like her clothes

she lay there in a shredded

world

we walked past her

you & me

Hand in hand,smiling

and not seeing,

I pretended, so did you

she lay there

for none of us to see.

Her navel peeped out

into the world

and her womb sucked in

all the stoicism

and her child within grew

by the day

and at night,when strange hands

shredded her again & again

her womb fought back, to survive.

One day, my eyes met hers

and I looked away

lest she robbed my soul

too late was I,

my soul was lost like her’s

searching for a shred of humanity

somewhere alive in this world

she could be me, or you

violated in cozy public places

she could be us or them

all at the brink.

tomorrow, I’ll await

instead of her, with my sunken womb

holding nil, not even life

would you give me a second glance?

would you care? or walk away?

like me to find you in my place

when the world conveniently

looks the other way!
