before we become birangona

my mothers and my sisters
grew their hair long
for when the soldiers came 
they could tie their braids
thick as ropes
and hang from the banyan trees.

(an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 women were systematically raped during the bangladesh liberation war by the pakistani army in 1971)
