She Will Be Waiting There After The Namaz On Bakra Eid, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
her life
bound
to enslaved
moments
called
eternity
held captive
till death sets
her free from
ignominy
rehabilitation
is not part
of the decree
expensive goats
cattle dumbas
will be slaughtered
a feast now turned
to pomp show
big money,..
ostentatious
display
for all to
see ..
no sorry
no bakras
for the orphanage
widows home
only the left over
skin given
generously
i shoot today
another eid
that others
will shoot
eventually
she waits
in a corner
hopelessly
year after
year under
the same
tree..
