A Woman - Yeng Chheangly

I saw her 
In a dirty face,
She carried,
Many bricks on her shoulder,
To a builder 
For a building construction
Modern and high.

With her ragged clothes 
Under the hot sun,
Her skin is burning,
And too skinny 
She goes up and comes down,
Her appearance burns her beauty,
Without rest.
She keeps working,
With her hard work,
She seems alone,
Where her husband is,
Just only her baby 
Crying for the breast milk.

Yeng Chheangly (born 1988) Cambodia
