Last night I heard the screaming

Last night I heard the screaming

Loud voices behind the wall

Another sleepless night for me

Women and Self Censorship: A Conversation*.

 

… So I have a question to ask you all about women, writing and self censorship. Why do women censor themselves? Why is our relationship to writing steeped in holding back?

“Does part of it have to do with being diplomatic and being brought up to please everyone? To not be angry or forthright?”

أي فخر في مواكب الفخر؟

country house retreat

country house retreat

the women kissed
upstairs or downstairs
played ping pong

the women swatted
flies and ate oranges
by the pool and drank

sometimes one would laugh
while playing Fußball
about her parents or a client

who walked
into her bank manager
office complaining

about the moral decline
of the country in which
they lived in which

those damned homosexuals
lived in which she
gave him a loan

smiled
and waited once again
for the weekend
