You have reached the woman

You have reached the woman

whose words are not buried beneath her tongue,

who crafts metaphors & similes like

she tends to the tattered garments of her inner untouched soul

that place she can call her own,     

You have reached the woman

who  has dared to stop and take stock,   

who realises the images in the broken mirror are not hers   

but mere distortions of what the world prescribes to her to be

You have reached Batsirai
