Peace Corps Volunteers Speak Out on Rape

I came to breathe clean air
To live in a one room home with a thatched roof,
To sleep on earth,
To plant and harvest with soft hands
Women here carry water in clay urns
From dying creek bed to parched village
Faces placid as stones smoothed by rushing water
They looked away
When I crawled back
Sarong smeared with blood
Gathered babies in their arms,
Turned their backs to stoke dinner fires
As if to say
Our sons, brothers
Fathers, husbands
Act as men do
