JEPHTHAH'S TONGUE

She cried

Not with  friends
At her side

Not on a mountain
Where there is place to hide

Not for two months
But for years

She shed long tears

She cried

With no one,beside
And no one aside

And no one,inside

This void of feminine pride
That she can't hide

So she bewailed
Like one who failed

She cried

Over her maid
Over vows made

By tongues
Like Jephthah's
