Her real father gave her away
As a charity
Her adopted father made her to
Sleep with a sage.
Her impotent husband wanted
Babies from her
Sex with three unknown strangers
Gave her three unique babies
Which along with two of
Her husband’s second wife
She mothered.
They were called the famous five
For a war they fought
For the land and the humiliation
At the same time
She fought a different war
In the silence
A god impregnated her in her precocious puberty
What was she supposed to do with her first born?
A mother helpless to even love her son
Abandonment came natural for her
She gave her first born to the river
A wound on her chest kept oozing the pus
Until it became a canker of her soul
Nothing cured her wound
Until she held the severed head
Of her first born to her bosom
Killed by her other son
At the end she was burnt alive
In a forest fire
