fem
a woman as she is.Â
she must be a variety.
change so that nothing will change.
it’s easy, impossible, tough going, worth a shot.
her eyes are, as required, deep, blue, gray,
dark merry, full of pointless tears.
from “a portrait of a woman” by w. szymborska
(...) naive yet giving the best advice.
weak yet lifting the weightiest burdens(...)
(...) where's she running, isn't she exhousted?
not a bit, a little, to death, it doesn't matter (...)
