Looking For Space

Suddenly he got up and switched off the light
Saying, “This room is bigger in the dark
Since we cannot see the walls”

I switched on the lights again
Saying “This light is actually the space
And we are more often imprisoned
By the walls that we cannot see”

Marriage
– one woman’s opinion

Marriage
is the difficulty
of changing routine and priorities
That make you less yourself
And a woman
Has to be less herself
In order to be more a woman

Marriage to a woman
Is a protection
For her who cannot afford the high price
And the high risk
Of living with her own identity

Marriage to a woman
Is a protection
For her who dare not live
In her own identity
It is too costly and too risky
