I am another Aphrodite.
I will suck that heart out,
slippery with all it harbors –
love and its wickedness.
I am a peasant woman,
with a beggar’s sunken eyes
and a mother’s forgotten hunger
when she feeds her child.
I am a traveler of
deserts and oceans,
lost in between what is mine
and what once belonged to me.
