Bridal Slave

Bridal Slave

Henna will not decorate slender fingers
Gold necklaces will not drape her neck
No diamond will stud her nostril
She will have no embroidered sari
He will not feed her sweets from loving fingers
Neighbors will not bless and celebrate


$120
For a bride like a mule
Who will labor in burning sun by day
And be used by him each night
