what does a woman think when she looks out of her window in the winter light?

what does a woman think
when she looks out of her window in the winter light?

today the meal she cooked was too salty
eight years back, her husband had died
five months back, her daughter had left her husband
one month back, the same daughter had given birth to a girl

what does a woman think
when she looks out of her window in the winter light?
does she think about the right name for her grandchild?

last tuesday, her colleague leered at her
last thursday, with the same colleague, she had spent her night
today, his invitation, she has declined

what does a woman think
when she looks out of her window in the winter light?

does she think about westminster abbey
where she believes people make-out in the broad daylight
or does she think about her local church, the methodist church
where she prays for her late husband once in a while...

what does a woman think
when she looks out of her window in the winter light?

or may be
she looks out of her window- for a respite
when she looks out of her window in the winter light
may be, she does not have a single thought in her mind


what does a woman think
when she looks out of her window in the winter light?
