An international Question

Farideh Hassan Zadeh( Mostafavi)
    Can you find somewhere
    For a woman's desk ?
     
    In the middle of the sea, for instance
    Where this boat needs only two lost oars
    For wandering;
    Or on a leafless branch
     Where this  little bird  will be covered  with snow
    And will be freeze  for ever .
     
    Can you find somewhere
    For a woman's desk ,
    In the East or in the West 
    except but a home in which
    a desk can be a coffin
    a heavy burden to carry
     on her husband’s shoulder ?
