Looking Out the Window
Author/auteur: Barbara Alcena (Haiti)
I'm looking out the window
I see a woman and she's crying
A man walks up to her
and takes her to bed
I see a woman who never
had a chance to be a virgin
because her body always
belonged to someone else
I see a woman
She sleeps in the bed
with someone
she barely knows
I see a woman who always
had tears in her eyes
but always a smile for others
Wait a minute, I'm not
looking at a window
it's a mirror, it's my reflection
And it's ME...
