“As Long As”
What I wear
You don’t care
Talking to me
But looking
At the car key
Tired too busy
Business dinners
Late nights
Where you go
I need not know
Too long to be mine
The black hair
On your shoulder shines
The lipstick shade
Though light
On your collar so bright
On your body
A strange perfume for days
Lingers on in many ways
I shall ignore this
And much more
As long as
You are kind to the children
And pretend to like me
On Hysterectomy – A Poem By Prof. Shaheena Asif From Her Book “The Ordinary Woman”
“ON HYSTERECTOMY”
Like dried branches
Like earth hard and cracked
Like grass turned brown
Lifeless but alive
Scared for life
Pretending smiling
Exhausted insecure
Secretly terrified
Dear womb
The surgeons knife
Cured the disease
But
Left me dying inside
