She was running free.
Bare and naked,
Across boundaries, maps and
fences
Butterflies followed her dances
The birds, her homelessness,
Rivers, trees, moors, moons
Hugged her bare skin in ecstasy
Until,
She reached the no-man’s land
where
a piece of cloth was hurled at
her
feet tied up with strings
ears and nose pierced to give
the identity she must carry,
the identity to look beautiful
the identity to become the one
who she never aspired to be;
Now lying under loathed bundle of
cotton threads
her freedom is tied forever.
She longs to run wild,
free of identity,
free of bonds,
free of clothes,
once again
stark naked!!
