Poems

The Prayer before the Bathing

My six children’s
Thirty six grandchildren’s
One thousand two hundred ninety six great grandchildren
Thank you,
Whose skin is more
Than all the sheets of paper in the world,
Whose body is broader
Than all the tombs in this world
And these moles on whose smooth skin
are the ancient( the oldest) script( writing)of the birds eggs.
Thank you for the warm stream(torrent),
For the warm stones,
For the milky clouds of steam
Beyond the bath curtain
For th gleaming white waves of foam(froth)
At the edges of a bathtub.
Turn stones into the quail eggs
Nest them in the warm field of wheat
I span the foam for chick’s socks
And it tangled again,
Because I am a virgin every morning ,
Because every time I become mother,
The refection of the rainbow on the skin-
The traces of touching- agreement
Is still in force,
Because one child,
Then one poem,
If one poem
Then one child,
I will give her(it) away for adoption again,
She(child) opened like a flower in the steam,
The most gentle obedient of the soap .
I took off my apologies like typhus, (Nt-‘movixade’ meansto take off, or to apologise)
I  conceived one more foetus again.
I ran hot water over my body
And I am (feel) better now,
I have finished.
