Glorifying Hymn For the Women we Love
the women we love are like pomegranates
they come and find us
during the night
when it rains
they erase our loneliness with their breasts
they dive deep in our hair
and decorate it
like tears
like gleaming shores
like pomegranates
the women we love are swans
their parks
live only in our hearts
their feathers are
the feathers of angels
their statues are our bodies
the beautiful tree lines are the same
as they are on the tips of their toes
erect
they come near us
as if swans kiss us
on our eyes
the women we love are lakes
among their reads
their fiery lips whistle
our beautiful birds swim in their waters
and then
when they fly away
Manolis Aligizakis
