Shahrzad!*
Barren
Thou infertile
Non,the miracle pill,non the bitter cure
The womb;
As if -bored pear,wrinkled,ambiguous,aimless-
Non,nine months
After unbearable one thousand and one nights
Restless,
Uninformed,
This repeated bored umbilical cord, chooked the throat of The City.
Miscarriage the story
And The City
That buried the exhausted secret of femininity.
