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 her self
In order to be more a
woman
Marriage to a woman
Is a protection
For her who dares not live

on her own identity
It is too costly and too
risky

A Grandmother in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is too
lonely for me
I
long for my home in the country
The
house that I built with my tears
The
place where I fought against poverty
To
give my children their education
Until
they occupied important position
Isn’t
that what I have been praying for
The
prayer that sent them to the capital city
Leaving
me alone and lonely

Please
send me back to the village
In
Kuala Lumpur I
have no place
This
city is moving too quickly
And
I can only walk slowly
This
city is for the young to live their best
Not
a place for the elderly to rest
This
is where you think about live
And
forget about death
Burial
ground is getting scarce.
