AWAKENING

painting by Stanislav Plutenko. titled AWAKENING...

And God made me a woman,
long hair,
eyes, nose and mouth of a woman.
With curves
and folds
... and soft hollows
and dug me inside,
I did a workshop on human beings.
wove my nerves gently
and carefully balanced
the number of my hormones.
composed my blood
and injected me with it
to irrigate
my body
were so born ideas,
dreams,
instinct.
All set gently
with a hammer in blows
and taladrazos of love,
the thousand and one things
that make me woman every day
why I wake up proud
every morning
and bless my sex.
