SISTER
di MAY AYIM, 1991.

why do you pierce me
with your eyes
why do you want to understand everything

touch
the pain
behind my laughter

feel
the weariness
in my eyes

count
the furrows
on my forehead

examine
the scars
under my skin

why do you want to fold your cold hands
around my trembling heart

we are sisters
you and i

we are sisters
