Image description: Four women’s faces are seen behind long grey horizontal bars, on which lines of the poem are written, with their disembodied hands wrapped around the bars in different gestures. To the right are three minibuses arranged horizontally, with the last lines of the poem written over curved yellow lines between them. The women’s hands are rendered in different skin tone shades of collaged paper.
