women of the world
you were sat on the mattress.
the light wasn't working.
'god help us.' you said as i manhandled the wires.
i left you behind and went into day light
to find the old woman.
i spied her from the balcony watering in the vines.
loping between the groves, that thick unmistakable back.
born to bear fruit from the earths dry half.
i beckoned her back with dumb hands,
she dabbled forward her fingers understanding.
when we arrived the lights were on
and you had wires in your hand.
i didn't know how to explain.
so you did. and apologised to her.
she smiled,
realising you spoke the same language.
