Parading wailing walls
one end to the other
grappling hair
pacing painful strides
long torn nails
rip at old clothe
dark clouds follow her days
shamelessly she weeps
howling her questions
empty skies her answer
stare white faced back
unjust this punishment
why must she die a lonely death
her world now shattered
dreams fall like rain
she wanders lost
love foresaken
stigmatised and exiled
no place to call her home
no place to call her own
she has the virus

Death rewards her faithfulness to her beloved husband.

Why?
