Andrea Halaby x Iván Casís Jr. ---------------------------------------- Inferno They say hell do not exist Time outside the house is different the man goes to work she stays home, makes lunch. Soaks the beans dries her tears and the dishes with her apron piles up the pots, picks up, washes, sweeps, mops twice. He couldn’t hit my son ‘cause I stood in the middle I told him, if he were to hit him, he had to kill me first. It was the only time I was brave, the only time, after that, I’ve been a coward. She sits her son at the only table serves him bean soup slices of rippened plantain and blackberry juice. The man arrives home drunk asks for his food —It’s cold! —he yells she warms it up, for the third time. She puts the child to sleep, his room has no door. He falls from his chair, screams, curses, throws the empty dish to the wall. She picks him up takes him to bed another long night awaits her, another hell. Well, he beat me to death. I lost the vision in this eye (points at her right eye) She closes her eyes and imagines her childhood home. Opens her eyes he’s already sleeping. In front of the mirror she puts make up over her face’s bruises. She changes her shirt and goes to the store. Comes back soon with a pound of rice two potatos and two hundred grams of lentils. Lights the fire to prepare lunch. Documentary Poetry February 1st, 2018 Interview to a 47 year old woman victim of gender violence.
