- W1987366707 abstract "No More Important Men I don't want any more Important men Clever men, rich men I don't want to be Their wife any more I want to be These things myself No more favors for me I no longer need A father to look up to To teach me rules and manners I'll find the path my self The path I wish to follow I'll ask my blood The rhythm of my heart My impulse and emotions I'll be my own boss In a free universe But if you agree– (Humbly) –To be my brother For better or for worse I'll be for you A loving sister translated into English by Yaffah Berkovits Murciano [End Page 238] Dish Mother cooked meat in the pot, a tasty dish to make you healthy. They cooked me in a song –alive– to make you happy. Someone slaughtered me. A ritual slaughter! –make no mistake– He cut me to pieces, threw salt on the wounds to draw out the blood. Oh, he kept strictly to the rites! Immersed me in water, waited the set time. Someone else came, put the water to boil, castigated my flesh. Someone roasted me over fire, someone fried me in hot oil, and added pungent spices. May my spirit rise, sweet incense in your nostrils, to awaken your body's senses. translated into English by Yaffah Berkovits Murciano [End Page 239] I Came To You I came to you beaten wretched, silent, You held out your arms, fists tightly clenched, to wrap me in your choking embrace I came to you not wanting to, led to the slaughter like a wayward daughter. You licked poison in my wounds, leaned against me till you shattered me, then gathered the broken pieces molded them into shape to soak up your rage. Your beatings cut through to my shame, touched my defenseless guilt. And so we clung together in anguish and terrible hate. I hated you with passion, desire welling up in me, lust of the mortified flesh locked in the pit of destruction. Visions of revenge my only defense [End Page 240] against powerless feeling, till I lost all senses! Then I locked away my insult behind laughter and smiles. Gave the man compliments awhile. My tears dried up, turning into bile. And so I learned silence for each act of violence . . . till you raised your hand against the lad. Then I swore forever to cut off the hand that struck the child –through tears and vomit– to scar him forever. Then I vowed to avenge his stricken terror. I fled from you beaten, broken, avenging. I spread my wings over the child and soared above peaks and dived deeper than water. I walked away from you, Strong, sane and Accusing! translated into English by Yaffah Berkovits Murciano [End Page 241] When I Grow Up When I grow up I'll be a high-society lady I'll be rich I'll be almighty My maids and servants will be at the ready When I grow up I'll be different from Shem I'll be a light Blond Tall Caucasian When I grow up I'll be pert I'll be bright I'll be smart I'll be quite 'The Expert' When I grow up I'll be a hero I'll be strong A leader And people will follow When I grow up In high-society I'll be accepted Adored and wanted worshiping males a bounty In my small state of being Imagination I praised In my lowliness My dreams I raised translated into English by Niki Serri [End Page 242] Primitrivial Primitrivial Her langwich a mess.
