The Slave |
In a Byzantine harem |
Where, seeking paradise |
I’d disguised myself as a dog |
A slave told me: |
Me, I’d like heavy pearls |
Enamelled black pearls |
To be dumb, and almost deaf |
So that you’d soothe me with words |
Words which resemble the sea |
Words that one sees through |
Words of bitterness and love |
Tender words, severe words |
Me, I’d like crowded rooms |
Where stretched out naked on all fours |
Encircled by dogs and chains |
Tasting mysterious liquors |
Drinks of life and drinks of death |
Cups filled to the brim |
I place my moist and eager lips |
On the kneeling stools therein |
Me I’d like a black slave |
With the white teeth, strong and cruel |
Who’d split my shackles wide |
And who’ll take me to the sky |
In the damp languor of evening |
Me all white, and he all black |
He’d bite my body, sliding |
With a serpent slow… attack |
Me, I’d like to be a young woman |
Behind glass and iron bars |
As pleasure takes my every breath |
Until sleep, until death |
Beneath my purple-blue eyelids |
You know, I have only one thought |
To be a woman, yes, it’s true |
To be a real woman |
God… please…please |
