Retrenched Women
RETRENCHED WOMEN
The soul aches
numbs the brain
Pictures float away of women
crying, laughing, ironing sheets
thinking about jobs and sex
finding work and
cooking cheap spaghetti
Playing with malnourished children
recovering from trauma, turmoil
turbulence, schizophrenia
from wombing life and giving
garlands of open hands
