Hands Over Eyes

Hands Over Eyes

Put your hands over your eyes
yellow dots the black but there is
some sense of light
open the fingers just a bit
glimpse the world through a bourka
well not quite
through fingers when you can see
it is clear
Put a hand on your brow
theres a shadow
and the sun reaches only a small
circle
a chador
A women kneeling
with a gun to her head couldn't
put her hands over her eyes
