Haibun
just twenty two
a beautiful girl
her life destroyed
because
she fell in love
we don't stone them
we kill them
in other ways
sisterhood?
must have been
taking a sabbatical
that year
she made a mistake
she drifts from year to year with
no prospects in sight
oh there are def more painful ways than stoning...that last a very long time...sisterhood, or even our humanity seem out the window much of the time.

ReplyDeleteSo very true...and these deaths are much slower.
ReplyDeleteStoning is inhuman but her life is more painful than stoning.
ReplyDeleteThis is really very intense... I sat silently for a few moments looking at the depths..
