Women

Curved

pillar

reflecting on the wall

Looks like a woman

still

stubborn

saddened

By the sudden realisation:

Pillars this time of day

On the walls

Of pretty fences

Of cosy houses

Could easily hide

Battled battered compromised egos

of women

still

shattered

serene

who look their shade from the road

and know:

Walls of pretty fences

of cosy houses

only deceptively reflect

the women on the road

Saddened

shattered

stubborn

Still serene

Still strong
