O' body, O' dear body... It's the mackerel you gobbled up yesterday. Why else does this cat circle you The third time again. Silence! O' gut. Keep thy waves down for a while At least until the Cat's wide gaze passes by. O' body, O' dear body... Be careful at the beach. You are in their home land; What if all those fish inside you Rush up to the sea. What if their friends try Knocking at the doors of Each of your cells. O' body, O' dear corpse... What if you finally come back To the shore with a thousand fish-kiss. O' body, O' dear body... What if Everything you savoured, Everything you devoured, Came to life before you, in a flash. O' body, O' dear body... What if you let Your thirty-year-old breast milk At the first sight of baby. Or may be, the bread And the roast meat Came up in search of those tiny lips. O' body, O' dear body... What if those tender ******* Show up to bedazzle A sunny noon at the dearest city And what if the dank aroma Makes you 'spill' all over again. O' body, O' dear body... What if the cattle inside Come out to graze At the sight of the meadow What if that cockerel Jumps out into the courtyard At the sight of his hen And the frogs inside Start croaking at every downpour. And the birds that settled in you Yearn for the skies O' body, O' dear body, All those fish, birds and beasts, Leaping out of thee. O' body, O' thy soul… -
