Kashka From Baghdad

	Kashka from Baghdad
	Lives in sin, they say,
	With another man,
	But no one knows who.

	Dark lights at night.
	No one thinks there's life inside at all,
	That there's life inside at all.

		Except for the ladies who clean the house,
		Except for the men who put the garbage out.

			At night
			They're seen
			Laughing,
			Dancing.
			They know
			The way
			To be
			Happy.

	Never go for walks.
	Maybe it's because
	The moon's not bright enough.
	They're blind in love, you see.

	I watch their shadows,
	Tall and slim,
	In the window opposite.
	I long to be with them.

		What would I do if I were seen?
		What would I do if they knew my feelings?

			At night
			They're seen
			Laughing,
			Loving.
			They know
			The way
			To be
			Happy.
