What happens to a girl defiled?

Does she close up
like an iris in the sun?
Or rage like a war-
Until won?

Does she fear everyone she meets?
Or live and start over-
Like a cat in the streets?

Maybe she just croaks
like a hungry toad.

Or does no one know?

-Poem based on “Harlem (A Dream Deferred)” by Langston Hughes.
