Our breasts are on strike

 

Our legs

they do not fly far away

until the man’s dream

 

Even our joy of the white of teeth

 

The feathers don’t fly

in the transparency of the bodies

Our body only will light

the beauty of the soul.

I like how, in your verse, you call attention to the other arts. I like how in this one you tie in elements of the physical -- the breasts, the legs, and the white teeth -- with that which lies within: the beauty of the soul.

this is very good jt. i love the usage of words here. this is by far the best i read from you so far. i know in your home language you probably have so many beautiful poems that need to be translayed into english. i wish my mind would allow me to remember other languages but i suffered brain damage in a car wreck and have a hard time remembering stuff,

 

cheers
