I open some windows
to escape my fate,
find birds and talk to them,
find trees and smile at them.
But every breath of air
transforms through me
into pure pain.
Sometimes,
I breathe pain
out of the air particles
that flee the house.
Pain I can’t escape,
pain I can’t explain.
The pain men
remind me of being
the weakness of my sex,
so deep and irresistible,
it diminishes
my very own existence
(me).
I close the windows
and shut the curtains,
while I breathe air in.
I close the doors
and hide the mirrors,
while I breathe pain out.
The room is finally dark.
