men long for beauty
women constantly offer it
we know this
we
the descendants of the Marathon fighters
so, there is no reason
for a woman’s year
and other such foolish acts
and masquerading
of the feminists
from the Glory to the Virgin Fighter
to the Cretan mantinades
to the Alphabet of Love
from the legendary phallic dances of the ancients
to the
these black eyes
that look at me
please lower them, my light…
they convince everyone
about the truth of the above
with words and deeds
we all compose bright bouquets
and endlessly
offer them
to women
