Looking for the Land of Women
Rumors whispered over warm beers at back bars, hints and winks, a land of women. Conversations suddenly pause as you pass, words, half-heard, free women. A bartered map drawn on a napkin, scraps of a letter found in a hotel drawer, a country where women walk freely. Hints and best guesses pick a horizon. Can we triangulate? Do we have coordinates? Are we getting closer?
Like what you're reading? Don't keep it to yourself.
